Half · edge: hard to leave

Embedded in claims and benefits at ~50 insurers, including 8 of the top 10 US life carriers, with insurers holding stakes via the Empathy Alliance, and now adding leave, caregiving and estate planning lines; revenue depends on a concentrated carrier channel and the human Care Team keeps margins service-heavy.
