The openingWhy the wedge beats a head-on replacement
The 58,000 independent US clinics running decades-old Avimark and Cornerstone software are a market ripe for AI-native disruption, analogous to the direct-to-consumer versus incumbent dynamic seen in eyewear, except here the incumbent is outdated software rather than a vertically integrated conglomerate. The overlooked strategic insight is the wedge: instead of asking a clinic to rip out its core system on day one (which they resist), you lead with a cheap, high-value AI feature (a scribe, an AI diagnostic, smart reminders) that legacy software cannot offer, get inside the clinic, then expand into the full platform once you have earned trust. It stays overlooked because founders frame this as head-on PMS replacement (hard) rather than AI-wedge-then-expand (winnable). The 58,000-clinic figure is context on the opening. Cross-note: the full-platform build and the leaner operations-software card are separate; this card is the AI-wedge displacement strategy.
