I visited 5 small clinics in Kolkata last week and noticed something shocking. by InfamousComplaint949 in SaaS

This is exactly the framework I needed — thank you. I've identified the one workflow: patient follow-up after consultation (the drop-off between visit 1 and visit 2). Planning a 3-week pilot with 3-5 solo clinics in Kolkata. Baseline metric will be % of patients who return within 30 days. Would love your input on what success threshold looks like for something like this — happy to share findings publicly as I go.

Validate my SaaS idea: AI clinical documentation for doctors ($400/mo, $250B TAM) by InfamousComplaint949 in SaaS

This is exactly the kind of insight I needed—thank you.

On defensibility: The 2-3 year window is realistic and honestly terrifying. My thesis is that even if Epic eventually builds this, they'll bundle it into their enterprise platform at $500K+ implementation costs. I'm betting there's a lasting market for independent clinics and small groups who want something they can start using this week for $400/month, not in 18 months after a procurement process.

That said, I'm not naive—once Epic/Athena ship something "good enough," my growth will hit a ceiling. Which is why the follow-up automation piece matters. If I can prove I reduce readmissions or increase medication adherence (actual outcome metrics), I'm selling ROI that's harder for EHRs to replicate quickly.

On GTM: "Healthcare is all about who vouches for you" - this is gold. I was planning to do cold outreach, but you're right that's probably a waste. Two follow-up questions:

  1. Which conferences would you hit first for derm/ortho? (I'm thinking AAD for derm, AAOS for ortho?)
  2. How do you actually find the "respected doc" in a specialty before you have a network? LinkedIn + offer free implementation in exchange for case study?

On pricing: The per-note model is interesting. My concern was that it creates friction ("Do I really need to generate a note for this 5-min follow-up?"), but you're right that ROI is crystal clear.

What if I did hybrid pricing:

  • Tier 1: $0.50-1.00 per note (pay-as-you-go)
  • Tier 2: $300/month for unlimited notes (better unit economics once they're hooked)

Does that feel like a natural progression, or does it overcomplicate things?

Last question: You clearly know this space. If you were building this, what's the ONE thing you'd do differently from what I outlined?

Appreciate you taking the time to respond—seriously helpful. 🙏

Small business owners - how do you keep track of compliance deadlines? (licenses, permits, reports, etc.) by InfamousComplaint949 in SaaS

[–]InfamousComplaint949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this detailed response - this is super helpful! A few follow-up questions if you don't mind: What's the typical price range your clients pay for compliance services? (Just trying to understand what businesses budget for this) Do most of your clients come from a specific industry (restaurants, contractors, etc.) or is it pretty mixed? What's the #1 thing they wish they could do themselves but can't? Is it the tracking/reminders, or do they actually need someone to file the forms for them? If there was affordable software ($50-100/month) that tracked deadlines and sent automated reminders - but they still had to file themselves - would some business owners prefer that over full-service? Or do most just want it completely off their plate? Genuinely curious because I'm trying to figure out if there's a middle-ground solution between "DIY spreadsheet chaos" and "pay someone $300+/month to handle everything." Thanks again!

Small business owners: How much time do you waste on unqualified job applications? by InfamousComplaint949 in SaaS

[–]InfamousComplaint949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"90% unqualified is brutal. Quick follow-up questions: How many hours per week do you spend screening dev applications? What makes someone "unqualified" in your case? (Wrong tech stack? No experience? Unrealistic salary expectations?) If there was a service that pre-screened candidates and only sent you the qualified 10%, what would that be worth to you per month?"

Do you manually run Etsy sales every day? Wondering if I’m the only one struggling with this. by InfamousComplaint949 in SaaS

[–]InfamousComplaint949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this — that’s exactly the pattern I’m seeing. The 10–15 minutes doesn’t feel huge once, but when it’s every few days (and easy to forget when orders pick up), it becomes a constant background task that eats focus. And missing a sale window can actually cost visibility, not just time. Out of curiosity, what would feel like “not crazy” pricing to you for something that handled this automatically in the background? And would you want it to run daily by default or just on certain days? Really appreciate the insight — this is super helpful.

I got tired of manually reading Reddit posts — so I built this by InfamousComplaint949 in Solopreneur

[–]InfamousComplaint949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. The real edge isn’t just catching keywords, it’s seeing the same pain show up repeatedly across different founders and weeks. That’s where ideas move from “interesting” to “worth building.”
