Ehsan's Analysis
Every HealthTech company I have advised at Series A stage that broke into top-quartile on this metric did one thing differently: they built internal tooling to track it in real-time instead of relying on monthly reports. The latency between signal and action is where value leaks. Build a dashboard that your team checks before their morning coffee.
