Healthcare teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. In most healthcare businesses this job has never had software written for it. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes customer support. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
