Is Totum AI worth running as a client service?

Totum AI supports a managed accounting service for agencies serving Indian SMBs on Tally, Zoho, or Busy, with bill automation, reconciliation, invoicing, multi-company reporting, and chat-based querying. Vendor pricing is not published and no agency market rates are supplied, so service economics cannot be modeled until the agency confirms vendor costs and client fees.
