Health systems run in real time. Their data does not.
We built the platform that fixes that, and we build it in a way nobody else can match on cost or
speed.

1 · The problem
The system moves continuously. The data stands still.

Why I started this
“I sold health software into public systems, then had to
run them. Dozens of separate systems, and stitching them together by hand became somebody’s day job. The
integration never arrived. The lock-in always did.”
Martin Carpenter · Founder & Chief Strategy Officer
No airline or bank would run on data that is weeks old. Health does, every day, and everyone inside it has
quietly accepted it. I did not want to sell another point solution into that.

What you are actually buying
Three jobs. Dozens of systems. One platform.
Every health system has to do these three things. Almost none of them does it with fewer than
dozens of products — procurement after procurement, integration after integration, and people whose
actual job is keeping them all in step.
Hold the recordThe person, across every
setting — GP, hospital, community, mental health and social care.
Run the operationFlow, capacity and the
binding constraint, computed from that same live record.
Govern the organisationIncident, risk and board
assurance, on one tamper-evident thread.
This is one platform that does all three. And because it is one, the incident recorded on a ward becomes the
risk on the board’s register without anyone re-keying it. That is not a bundle. It is the thing the
bundle was pretending to be.

2 · The proposal
Stop buying systems. Run one.
One open record — openEHR, FHIR, SNOMED — carrying clinical, operational and governance
in a single platform you host yourself. Enter for a pound, prove it on your own estate, expand when you choose.
The data stays in an open standard, so leaving is always possible. That is deliberate. We would rather you
stayed because you want to than because you cannot get out.

3 · The proof
It is built. It is running. You can see it.

4 · Whose day gets easier
Shorter, simpler, safer. And worth doing.
Everyone in the NHS is frazzled. They do not want another system. They want their day back.
ShorterThe same patient stops being typed into three
systems. It is already there.
SimplerOne place to look. A nurse sees the whole person,
not six fragments to assemble.
SaferDeterioration, medication risk and the thread from
incident to board are computed from live data, not reconstructed afterwards.
More rewardingThe people employed to move data between
systems get to do the job they trained for.

How we build and maintain it
Bugs fixed in near real time. Features in weeks, not years.
A founding team built what conventional vendors take years and nine figures to produce. The same
engine maintains it: defects are found and corrected continuously rather than held for a release train, and a
change a customer asks for arrives in days or weeks — not the next quarter, and not the next roadmap.
Humans and process assure every change: clinical safety review, test and release gates. Speed does not come out
of the safety case.

The architecture
One record. Everything reads it.

The golden thread
Why buy Board, Risk and Incident as three products?
10
Where the money starts
We sell governance first, not clinical software.
Board assurance, risk, incidents, information governance, AI governance. It holds no patient records,
so there is no clinical certification gate and no multi-year integration.
Boards buy it inside one financial year. The clinical platform follows into an organisation that already trusts
us.
11
The editions
Land at a pound. Scale per head.
Governance alone is £150–250m a year across the UK · £85–145m of it inside English trusts
12
The cost case
The fourth segment is people.
13
Three theatres
The NHS proves it. The world scales it.
Prove · UK
Governance revenue
The hardest regulatory bar in the world. What survives here sells anywhere.
Scale · Gulf
Middle East
Saudi and Oman packs already built. Arabic, ministry structures, national governance. Capital, greenfield
estates, procurement in months not years.
Develop · Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East
The clinical
model
Opportunities where clinical accreditation is less of an issue. Lighter regulatory drag lets us develop and
evidence the whole-system clinical model at pace, then bring it back.
14
What we do not have yet
No revenue. That is what this round buys.
The product exists. The commercial proof does not, and we are not going to dress it up. Safety
assurance, procurement listing and the first paying references are the work in front of us.
Build risk is largely retired. What is left is commercial risk, and it is the cheapest kind to buy down at this
stage.

Three years
From pre-revenue to platform contracts.
