Healthcare teams lose next month planned from last month with a gut adjustment. Every healthcare team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes demand forecasting. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Healthcare is growing at roughly 19% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
