Subsidy economics across all sectors
The AI subsidy model extends far beyond software development. The same unit economics apply across sectors:
Healthcare: AI diagnostic tools process imaging and patient data. Each radiologist's correction of an AI-flagged scan is a preference signal. Legal: AI contract analysis tools learn from every clause a solicitor accepts, rejects, or modifies. Finance: AI risk models improve from every credit decision a human analyst adjusts. Education: AI tutoring systems learn from every pedagogical intervention a teacher makes.
In each case, the tool operates at negative unit economics during its growth phase. The deficit is funded by venture capital or strategic investment. The return on that investment is projected partly from subscription revenue and partly from the accumulated proprietary dataset — which contains domain-specific professional judgment that cannot be sourced from public data.
