Specific, urgent, and still unsolved — the kind of pain that converts
One-Liner
AI generates insurance appeal letters for dermatology procedures denied as "cosmetic" when clinically they are medically necessary — with ICD-10-specific criteria, CPT code defense, and literature citations

killed: Workers' compensation narrative report templates are already available through chiropractic-specific EHR systems (SOAP Notes, ChiroFusion, Jane App) and state chiropractic associations. The market is too small and too fragmented by state-level workers' comp requirements to build a defensible data advantage over embedded EHR features.
killed: USP 797/800 compounding documentation generation addresses a real compliance pain point but lands in a space already served by specialized pharmacy compliance software and PCAB consulting services — the USP monograph-prescribed record formats leave nothing proprietary to build around, and switching costs are insufficient to prevent a larger pharmacy software vendor from absorbing this feature.
killed: CLIA corrective action report generation is template-filling in a small, specialized market — CMS-prescribed formats are public, the number of labs performing QC investigations is limited, and existing laboratory information systems will bundle this as a compliance workflow before an independent product can build meaningful distribution.
