Entry signal — what decides who wins here
One thing must be trueEntry turns on a single condition that can be named and tested before much is spent. Clear it and this becomes an execution question; fail it and no amount of operating skill helps.
Displace an incumbent the screen found well defended — payments attached to the workflow, data that does not leave, a contract that renews itself. Share here means giving a buyer a reason to break something that currently works, which is a higher bar than being better.
Measured, not forecast: the share of US establishments opening in one year that were still active later. It counts good operators and bad ones together, which is exactly why it is the honest answer to “what are the odds”. It is for the whole sector rather than this market, and the ten-year figure comes from an older cohort because no younger one has reached ten years.
This is not a probability of success, and it is not a verdict on you. No survival probability is published per market, and inventing one would be worse than saying so. What the bar reads is how much of the outcome sits inside an operator's control: green means the hurdles are ones a better operator clears, red means the binding constraint is capital, an asset or a permission rather than execution. Someone arriving with an advantage this screen did not assume can win a market shown in red.

The binding constraint — incumbent vulnerability
The classic adjacency trap: operational point solutions must integrate with the EHR, and the EHR vendor can build the same feature and bundle it. LeanTaaS and Qventus have both built real businesses here, which proves the wedge exists — and both did it before Epic's operational modules matured. Provincial health authority procurement in Canada adds a public-sector cycle on top. Nothing is disclosed here. Every vendor named on this record is private, or sits inside a parent that does not break the line out, so no revenue floor can be built and the market size is genuinely unknown rather than estimated.
The incumbent
Who owns this market and who is coming for it. Fields a screen never reached say so rather than guessing.
The field
Every vendor named on this record, and what each one discloses. Most disclose nothing, which is why the market is not sized.
Competitor set · 4 named · 0 disclose revenue
| Name | Revenue | Share | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epic SystemsC | not disclosed | — | Private and famously non-disclosing |
| Oracle Health (Cerner)C | not disclosed | — | Inside Oracle; not broken out since the acquisition |
| MeditechC | not disclosed | — | Private |
| LeanTaaS / QventusC | not disclosed | — | Private, venture-funded |
Nobody here publishes revenue. The market is not sized for that reason — an estimate built on nothing would only look like knowledge.
