Dental teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 8 hours a week. Every dental team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Intake & triage handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Dental is growing at roughly 14% 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
