Sales Battlecard

SigmaEra AI for Healthcare

$260M–$700M serviceable market in healthcare organizational intelligence — a category with zero direct competitors where HP's on-device architecture is a deployment prerequisite, not a preference.

Three Numbers That Matter

Total HP deal value per health system ~$14.9M over 3 years
Serviceable addressable market $260M–$700M
Pilot to value 90 days (full cycle: ~5–6 months)

The 30-Second Pitch

Health systems spend billions on clinical AI but have zero visibility into the organizational layer — committees, care transitions, credentialing workflows — that determines whether clinical decisions actually reach the frontline. SigmaEra AI analyzes meeting intelligence and coordination patterns across a health system to surface decision bottlenecks, handoff failures, and committee waste worth over $5M annually. It deploys air-gapped on HP IQ endpoints with PHI filtered at the endpoint — data never leaves the device, making it the only organizational intelligence platform that meets HIPAA requirements by architecture, not workaround. No other vendor has the on-device AI hardware, the on-premise deployment model, and the healthcare channel relationships to deliver this.

Case Scenario Snapshot

Meridian Regional Health
Profile14,000 employees, 23 facilities (3 hospitals, 1,150 beds), ~2,800 meetings/week
Pilot outcome$2.3M–$5.3M annualized customer value + 22,000 hours recovered
HP deal valueY1: $7.8M / 3-year total: ~$14.9M
Key findings18 committee pairs with >60% topic overlap; Thursday/Friday communication drop driving Monday readmissions; credentialing bottleneck at dept. chair review (23-day average stall); 400+ low-value recurring meetings identified

Top 3 Objections

ObjectionRebuttal
“We already have Epic analytics.” Epic measures clinical outcomes inside the EHR. Sigma diagnoses the organizational causes — meetings, handoffs, decision flow — that produce those outcomes. Complementary, not competitive.
“HIPAA won’t allow meeting analysis.” Air-gapped, on-premise, PHI filtered at ingestion on the HP IQ endpoint — data never leaves your network. Sigma analyzes coordination patterns, not patient-level information.
“Our doctors won’t adopt another tool.” Doctors don’t use Sigma. It analyzes channels they already use. Zero new workflow for clinicians. The result is fewer meetings and less admin burden.

Buyer Entry Point

Who: COO / VP of Operations or CMIO / VP of Clinical Informatics

Lead with: “How many committees do you run, and how many of them review the same events?” Every health system leader can name committees they think should be consolidated — start there.

Ask for: 90-day proof-of-value pilot scoped to committee rationalization and meeting efficiency at one hospital campus.

Competitive Positioning

No direct competitor exists in healthcare organizational intelligence. Clinical AI vendors (Epic Copilot, Nuance DAX) optimize individual encounters. Operational vendors (Qventus, LeanTaaS) optimize specific workflows like bed management. Generic meeting tools (Otter, Gong) are cloud-only with no healthcare product and no cross-meeting organizational analysis. Microsoft Viva Insights tracks individual productivity, not organizational decision flow. Sigma is the only product in the category, and HP IQ creates a structural head start that compounds with each deployment.

HP IQ Integration

HP IQ endpoints run a local 20B-parameter model that processes meeting signals and communication metadata on-device — PHI never leaves the endpoint. Sigma’s on-premise engine analyzes the aggregated organizational signals across the health system. The on-device processing IS the HIPAA architecture. Any competitor would need their own hardware AI platform — and HP is already taken. CIOs manage Sigma through HP Workforce Experience Platform, the same console they use for their existing HP fleet.
