Why it matters
Stork Quadrant
Has a real moat but invisible to agents. Add an MCP and you'd climb.
“Dodo survives because it owns the integration layer between client communication and clinic operations—an LLM alone can't book into your practice management system, handle HIPAA-gated pet health data, or bear liability for a missed emergency triage. The regulatory and coordination moats are real: vets need someone to sign off on triage decisions, and the tool's value compounds as it learns clinic-specific protocols and integrates deeper into their workflow. An LLM chatbot can generate responses, but it can't replace the rails.”
An LLM alone could replace
Double down on vertical integration: own the data pipeline from clinic systems to the agent, and build proprietary triage models trained on clinic outcomes. Make switching costs prohibitive by becoming the communication backbone clinics can't live without, not just a better chatbot.
