I dread working on this.
So is running a website apparently.

Continues to say billing is “tough”, but this text seems aimed to wrap it all up in one blog post.
This reads like what you write to convince a small business to hire you as an independent contractor to do their website—sympathize to the emotional pain, then write a survey of challenges to convey knowledge and competence.
Something is still missing as a marketing piece. First, what’s the context—compared to what? Second, this reads like a rational discussion of complexity, but not of difficulty.

It isn't just X, it's Y. Is a classic LLM trope (probably picked up from leading-on twitter slop that go 1/n 2/n,...)
What's this fraction series represent--converging on n/n (assuming there actually is a definition of n)?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
