Anyone can vibecode an 80% solution in an afternoon, custom to their own workflow, with people already on staff. The tool then dies locally on the builder’s computer, because IT (correctly) won't let anyone deploy a tool touching PHI without first-class authentication and permissioning. Our first design partner had multiple employees who had each built useful tools and dashboards locally, but couldn’t actually share these with coworkers or connect to their core practice data. Within weeks of implementing Floracene, they were able to cut a $12K / month contract for a crappy dashboarding tool and had 4 home-built tools shipped to production. ~$200B is spent on administrative software in healthcare every year in the US. Tens of thousands of those companies still run core operations on spreadsheets, and we're at the top of the first i[8]
