Seed thesis

• The mess: Payer-specific requirements; clinical-document assembly; submission and resubmission cycles; status chasing.
• Why now: Agents-as-coworkers can assemble and pursue auths; durable workflow + document reasoning fit. Regulated and access-gated.
• The money: Huge admin cost; delayed care has real downstream cost.
• Whitespace: Some RCM/auth players exist; hard to enter without healthcare insider.
