The submission conflates two distinct 'Cohere' entities: Cohere Health (the project URL/description provided) and Cohere Inc. (an AI foundation model company). The '5.5B marketcap' figure belongs to Cohere Inc., whereas Cohere Health is a Series C healthcare technology firm (approx. valuation ~$500M-$1B). Despite this submission error, Cohere Health is a highly successful, mature venture with verified traction (~800 employees, ~$160M+ estimated revenue) and high real-world utility in automating prior authorizations. The score reflects the verified success of the healthcare entity, penalized slightly for the inaccurate data provided in the submission.

Description
Cohere Health is illuminating healthcare for patients, their doctors, and all those who are important in a patient’s healthcare experience, both in and out of the doctors office. Founded in August, 2019, we are obsessed with eliminating wasteful friction patients and doctors experience in areas that have nothing to do with health and treatment, particularly for diagnoses that require expensive procedures or medications. To that end, we build software that is expressly designed to ensure the appropriate plan of care is understood and expeditiously approved, so that patients and doctors can focus on health, rather than payment or administrative hassles.
