Healthcare teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A forecasting model that handles scheduling end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
