No pricing page we fetched carried a figure, so there is nothing to compare against. The build side is still real.

No published price to break even against.
No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Log daily symptoms -> store entries -> view timeline and simple analytics -> export or share data
What it still won’t have
- Any proprietary clinical content, curated guidance, or physician networks
- Brand trust and existing user base
- HIPAA compliance guarantees or audited security posture
- Cross-platform polished UX and marketing-driven features
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance
First-year cost

What we assumed
The verdict above measures whether you could build it. This one is only about money.
Runnable build prompt
Build a single-tenant web app in Next.js (React) + Node.js API + Postgres (hosted on Supabase or Railway). Core features in scope: user signup/sign-in (email + password), authenticated symptom logging form (date, symptom type, severity, free-text notes, tags), server-side storage in Postgres with per-user isolation, timeline view with paginated entries, simple charts (chart.js) showing symptom severity over time, CSV export of a user's history, scheduled job (cron on server or platform scheduler) to send reminder emails via SendGrid. Out of scope: multi-tenant enterprise features, full HIPAA certification, clinician-facing integrations, and mobile native apps. Include input validation, error handling, basic unit tests for API routes, and deployment scripts (Docker + simple CI).
How we checked
How the score was reached
- Build verdict base78
- 3/3 assessment runs agreed+4
- Evidence score82
The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
