MRI Helium Scheduling Redistribution
One-Liner
A scheduling and redistribution platform for MRI helium supply during the global helium shortage crisis.
Kill Reason
Episodic crisis with two resolution paths: (1) helium supply restored as Qatar resumes production, or (2) helium-free MRI adoption accelerates (Philips BlueSeal, 7 liters vs 2,000). Neither path creates lasting software demand. By the time the product ships, the crisis may be over.

killed: 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.
