Analysts project 30 to 40% of the ~$450B vertical SaaS market gets reshaped by AI agents through 2028. Legal (Harvey, serving A&O Shearman and PwC Legal), healthcare (Ambience, ~$150B/yr projected US savings), and construction (Procore) show domain agents winning on data and workflow moats. Source: Rob Saker / Medium Vertical SaaS sold at a 41% premium to horizontal in 2025, the largest gap on record, and vertical AI is aiming straight at that premium. The moat is proprietary data plus owned workflow, which is exactly what a thin AI wrapper can't replicate.
