If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.
Fermi summary
If you land 40 paying accounts at $250/mo that's $120k ARR - but the addressable buyer pool is maybe 600 companies total, year 1 take-home is likely negative after build costs, and there's roughly a 17% shot you hit the middle case.

Go-to-market motion
Targeted LinkedIn + cold email to VP Sales / Sales Ops at vet equipment vendors, practice mgmt software cos, and active DSO roll-ups → 15-20 demos/month → 2-3 closes/month at $250-400/mo.
Key risks
- DSO acquisitions are often quiet or delayed in public filings - data latency of 30-90 days kills the '90-day window' value prop entirely if sourcing isn't solid
- Buyer pool is genuinely tiny: maybe 50-80 companies will ever pay for this, creating a hard ceiling well below $500k ARR
- Consolidation pace in vet sector is slowing post-2023 as PE firms hit higher interest rates - the urgency narrative weakens if deal flow drops
- ZoomInfo, Pitchbook, or a vet-industry newsletter could surface the same signal for free or as a minor add-on feature
