Problem
Finding relevant clinical trials is messy, especially for patients trying to sort through condition, eligibility, and location at the same time.
Build
We built a trial-matching flow around condition, eligibility, and location, then made a late pivot and rebuilt the pitch in a few hours.
Takeaways
- A clear pivot is still better than forcing the first idea to work.
- Under time pressure, a well-framed problem carries more weight than a flashy demo.
