Q1

What is the real addressable market for outpatient mental health services in India's urban upper-middle class — and what price point, format, and credential combination makes a consumer move from awareness to actually booking a session?

North Vector Resolution: We deploy multi-tier primary telemetry, dual-source pricing algorithms, and proprietary unit economics models to provide decisive boardroom answers.

Q2

We're a digital therapy platform growing at 60% but with 55% session completion. Tell us whether the drop-off is the platform experience, the therapist quality, the clinical model, or a mismatch between what users think they're signing up for and what we deliver.

North Vector Resolution: We deploy multi-tier primary telemetry, dual-source pricing algorithms, and proprietary unit economics models to provide decisive boardroom answers.

Q4

We're acquiring a chain of psychiatric rehabilitation centres. How real is the bed occupancy, what payor mix is credible at scale, and what is the staff dependency risk if the lead psychiatrists leave post-acquisition?
