AI + Data Modernization That Fits Mid‑Market Healthcare Budgets
Embedded tiger teams for AI, data, and modernization projects
JetBridge provides embedded engineering tiger teams that modernize data, automate workflows, and ship compliant AI fast—on budget and without adding
permanent headcount.
(not “resume spam”)
1) Who we are
Founder-engineers, not consultants. Our team built Five9 (public SaaS) and DoctorBase (scaled to ~9M U.S. users pre-acquisition). We run delivery like operators: clear scope, tight feedback loops, production-grade quality, and measurable outcomes.
2) Why we're different
Live pair-programming is mandatory. Every engineer is screened in real-time on applied problem-solving and code quality. It's expensive and time-consuming — which is exactly why most vendors don't do it.
3) How we work
University-anchored talent funnels. We partner with administrators and professors in Brazil, Poland, Ukraine, and Colombia to recruit top CS and applied-math talent (including PhD candidates), then train them on production AI/data and enterprise modernization patterns.

4) Social proof
Teams we've built have delivered systems across Fortune 500 ecosystems (e.g., LabCorp) and tier-1 VC-backed startups (including a16z portfolios).
What you buy
- A small, senior team that plugs into your existing stack.
- Production increments every 1-2 weeks (no “big reveal” delivery).
- Security-by-design: audit trails, access control, and runbooks.
- Clean handoff: documentation, dashboards, and ownership transfer.
Engagement model
Start with a defined 6–10 week pilot (fixed scope, clear metrics). If it works, scale to a phased rollout. If it doesn't, stop—without carrying a permanent cost structure.
Next steps
Free 45-minute consult with an AI architect: proposed architecture + pilot scope + staffing plan + budget range.
Note: projected ROI depends on data quality, integration access, adoption, and vendor constraints. We validate assumptions in discovery and lock the pilot scorecard before build.
Case Study: RCM Automation + Prior Auth Acceleration
Project context
| Client | Multi-site outpatient network • 38 clinics • ~1.06M annual encounters • mixed EHR + billing stack |
| Starting point | Denials/appeals churn, document-heavy prior auth, fragmented clinical + claims data, limited analytics, strict PHI controls. |
| Goal | Reduce denials + rework while automating intake/prior-auth workflows and enabling governed analytics without replacing the EHR. |
Constraints we designed for
- HIPAA/PHI: least-privilege, audit logs, secure handling of prompts/outputs.
- EHR/clearinghouse API throttles; limited change windows.
- Small internal team; delivery must reduce—not increase—operational burden.
- Unstructured documents and inconsistent code mappings across sites.
What we shipped (8-week pilot → 5.5-month rollout)
Clinical and RCM lakehouse
- Incremental ingestion + code normalization
- Encounter stitching + denials analytics
- Prioritized work queues
Prior-auth automation
- Doc classification + field extraction
- Reviewer-ready summaries + checklists
- Closed-loop status tracking + notifications
Security + governance
- PHI controls + audit trails
- Monitoring + QA gates
- Runbooks + ownership transfer
ROI snapshot (measured impact + financial model)
| Financial Line Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Tiger team cost (pilot + rollout) | $824,600 |
| Annualized run-rate savings | $2,931,480 |
| Annualized run-rate revenue lift | $1,184,260 |
| 12-month net benefit | $3,291,140 |
| Payback period | 14.7 weeks |
| 12-month ROI | 399.2% |
Method: hard-dollar savings are anchored to labor minutes, throughput, leakage capture, and vendor spend. Revenue lift reflects conversion, cycle time, and retention improvements attributable to the shipped workflows.
Appendix A:
Hiring just one fullstack engineer (senior) requires over 500 candidates sourced, 100 initial interviews, and 14 two hour technical live pair programming to have one candidate pass our test.
Nobody else in our industry does this rigor.
