BEST CLIENT FEEDBACK
"You make our $2.5M vendor look incompetent."
The enterprise healthcare world is drunk on complexity. Simple n8n workflows are eating their expensive lunch.
Revenue from "6-hour builds": $16,800/month. Original vendor estimate for same work: $420,000 annually.
Who else is waiting months for "enterprise medical integration"?
