Healthcare teams lose a monthly report rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow forecasting model scoped to reporting & analytics alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is data subscription, 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 |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
