Executable healthcare contracts

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a product that understands and applies contract logic to healthcare payments during audits, claims processing, and optimization. Rather than just storing contracts, we execute them to ensure payments are accurate today and make contract performance measurable and improvable over time.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we and our early users are located. Being close to healthcare payers and insurers here helps us move faster and build relationships.
