Hospital Pharmacy Drug Shortage Dashboard
One-Liner
A crisis-mode dashboard for hospital pharmacists to track drug shortages, alternatives, and allocation across their formulary.
Kill Reason
Existing pharmacy intelligence platforms (Bluesight, GPO tools from Vizient and Premier) already have the data infrastructure. Crisis-mode dashboard is a feature they add in days, not a new product. Crisis-driven urgency benefits incumbents.

killed: Accuracy Cliff: medical monitoring needs near-perfect accuracy from day one. On-device models cannot meet medical accuracy requirements. FDA/CE approval timelines are years, not months.
killed: Pharmacies have zero incentive to share real-time stock data (benefits competitors). Crowdsourced pivot fails from frequency trap (individual patient searches rarely) and medication privacy concerns. Two-sided marketplace where one side won't participate.
killed: Hardware cost ($1M/pod) combined with annual screening frequency makes unit economics impossible, regardless of customer. Quest/Labcorp already serve corporate wellness efficiently at $35-75/person. The fundamental problem is hardware cost, not customer selection.
