Proud to be part of this one. Great piece from Nick Kavassalis and the team at Origin on what's possible when a lean team builds instead of buys.

My part of it: Origin's clinicians had outcomes data — engagement stats, progress tracking, severity thresholds. It existed, but wasn't accessible during patient visits.

The "buy" option ran $250-400 per provider per year, which adds up fast across their 110+ providers. I built it instead: a Chrome extension on top of their EMR, done in six weeks for a few hundred dollars in Claude tokens.

This is part of a bigger shift in what a product advisor can deliver now — less roadmap decks, more shipped product. Great to see it in action with this team.
