Free for the Doctor, Paid by the Clinic.

Heidi's wedge is the individual clinician using it free — a doctor who stops typing through consultations becomes the internal advocate when the clinic standardizes. Conversion happens at the organization: team plans with shared templates, specialty-specific note formats and the compliance layer health systems require before any clinical tool is adopted.

The buyer economics are unusually clean: a scribe costs a fraction of a human medical scribe's salary while recovering consultation time, so clinic-level ROI is immediate and defensible in a procurement review. That dual motion — free product-led spread, paid enterprise conversion — is the engine behind the revenue surge AFR reported in 2026.
