Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedEnd users who are deaf or hard of hearing use it free; the app is offered at no cost and certified by the FCC, so a third-party reimbursement scheme likely pays (hypothesis); audiologists are a recommending channel.
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
UnverifiedHearing loss making phone calls hard; wanting live captions of calls while keeping the existing phone number and working with hearing aids and cochlear implants.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
User downloads the app, gets a new number or keeps the existing one, makes or receives calls, reads real-time captions (50+ languages), replies by voice, typing or AI quick replies, and keeps transcripts saved locally.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Free to users; FCC-certified, captions costs paid from a federally administered fund per minute.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Self-serve app download; audiologist referral channel.
