This is a deep systems, financial, and execution model that must be realistic, defensible, and investor-grade. --- Core Objective Produce a coherent, end-to-end business and financial model that answers: What does this actually cost?

Applicants should be willing to adjust their ongoing hourly rate to a mutually negotiated rate after the trial, based on scope, fit, and depth of involvement. --- Critical Application Requirement (Do Not Skip) In your proposal, you must include: 1. Your estimated total hours to complete this work (approximate is fine) 2. Your hourly rate, and confirmation that you are open to adjusting it to a negotiated rate after the trial 3. A rough hours breakdown by stage 4. Which research areas you expect to be most time-consuming 5. What part of this project you believe is most difficult or risky 6. Any direct experience with hospitals, healthcare finance, or large infrastructure systems Proposals that do not include both estimated hours and hourly rate will not be reviewed. --- Engagement Structure Begins with a paid 3-hour trial Hourly or milestone-based thereafter Iterative review and direct feedback Potential for longer-term advisory role if fit is strong --- Tone Expectation We value intellectual honesty over optimism.
