Open Evidence scored a perfect 100% on the US medical licensing exam.
As a physician, I have a problem with that benchmark.

The lesson for founders: The best time to win a customer is when they're desperate for help and nobody else is showing up.
What's the most underserved moment in your customer's journey?
