Supervision-hour tracking and licensure documentation software for associate therapists and counselors preparing state board license applications; revenue from clinicians and supervisory agencies. · Professional Compliance SaaS
DEAD SLOW · CAUTIOUS
6.0 ShipScore / 10
Strongest: operator-owned automation. Weakest: near-zero verified demand or tracked spend.
Condition: Must confirm 20+ associates or one supervisory agency will prepay before build; agency contracts, not solo clinicians, carry the price.
Part I — The Verdict what the instruments read
01 — The ShipScore breakdown
Control
7
C7 — own SaaS, sells direct to clinicians/agencies, no gatekeeper lifeline
Entry barriers
5
E5 — cloneable hour log; Time2Track established but shows no growth evidence
Need
5
N5 — no MRR, no Reddit signal; only sparse spreadsheet/Time2Track vents
S5 — US associate-license niche, fragmented by state board rules
What the five commandments measure
C — Control
Do you own the customer, or does a gatekeeper stand between you and revenue?
E — Entry
How hard is this to copy once it works? A rival's existence isn't the question — the durability of their advantage is.
N — Need
Is demand proven with money rather than vibes?
T — Time
Can income detach from your hours, or did you buy yourself a job?
S — Scale
How far does it reach without linear cost?
Scored on the evidence below, against CENTS as we've adapted it plus a Buffett-style moat reading of every rival — the same referee for every idea, including the ones we generate ourselves. The verdict follows the arithmetic: we never relabel a score to make it read better, and the weakest commandment is always named. The exact rubric stays in-house so the scale can't be written for.
02 — The pace test — $1M/yr
At $19/mo (assumed category price), you need 4,386 subscribers for a $1M/yr pace.
No tracked rivals with verified revenue to benchmark against.
Part II — The Evidence the receipts, good and bad
03 — Rival scan
No similar products found in the radar corpus — either genuinely novel, or too small to track.
Time2Track — Established incumbent name for trainee hour logging; owns the default habit despite friction complaints
Almost Licensed — Recent launch already targeting CSWA/LSWAIC supervision hours — direct wedge overlap
Virsys12 — Pushes provider credentialing/licensure tracking; could extend downmarket into supervision hours
04 — Demand evidence
Evidence is thin: no radar-tracked products, no funded companies, no Reddit signals for these keywords
X chatter described as 'almost none' — single promos and one-off vents with tiny engagement
Only concrete pain cited: spreadsheet/hours-log drudgery and Time2Track internship-entry friction
Category is real and paid (Time2Track named as the established incumbent), but no revenue figure anywhere in evidence
05 — Risks
50-state board rule variance makes documentation logic expensive to build and maintain
Users pay for 2-3 years then license and churn forever — brutal lifecycle churn
Spreadsheets and supervisor-signed paper forms are free and board-accepted
Solo-clinician willingness-to-pay is low; agency sales cycles are slow and relationship-driven
06 — Kill switches — what kills this with one decision
State licensing boards — A board mandating its own portal or form format makes third-party tracking redundant
Time2Track or an EHR (SimplePractice-class) bundling supervision hours — Free bundled feature inside software agencies already pay for erases standalone pricing
Part III — The Plan if you insist on proceeding
07 — What this scan can't tell you
Cannot tell whether associates or supervising agencies actually hold the budget
No data on Time2Track's pricing, user count, or whether it's growing or eroding
Unknown how many boards accept digital logs versus requiring wet-signature forms
Scores judge the market and business model — not your ability to execute. Verified MRR = independently tracked revenue; reviews/upvotes = platform-reported. Judged 2026-09-17.
08 — The wedge & the next step
Sell per-seat to supervisory agencies and group practices managing 10+ associates — board-ready application packets auto-generated per state, not just an hour log.
Cheapest next step: Cold-DM 15 clinical supervisors at group practices and one state association chapter; ask what they pay today and offer a $200 prepaid pilot.
