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: 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: Denied claims appeal automation is a crowded space with 10+ funded competitors (Waystar, Experian Health, Change Healthcare/Optum, Infinx, Apixio, AKASA) and deep EHR integration moats. Olive failed from unfocused execution, not market absence.
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.
