Public Roadmap

Public Roadmap — every feature we ship, in the open

No marketing fluff, no vague "coming soon" lists. Every shipped feature has a date and an ID. Every planned feature has a window. Updated weekly by the team.

  1. F244

    X-ray AI text-only fallback

    May 10, 2026

    When the vision provider chain saturates, the 9th fallback returns a cited text-only finding rather than a hard error — clinic visits never bounce on AI capacity.

  2. F237

    Test-doctor 404 guard

    May 9, 2026

    Internal QA doctor profiles auto-noindex and return 404 to public crawlers — production stays free of synthetic profile pages on Google.

  3. F239

    Sitewide JSON-LD

    May 9, 2026

    Organization, WebSite, BreadcrumbList, and SoftwareApplication structured data on every public page — improved rich-snippet eligibility across SERPs.

  4. F243

    Twitter cards + marketplace JSON-LD

    May 9, 2026

    summary_large_image cards on /pricing, /lab, /marketplace; WebPage + ItemList schema on the marketplace listing for searchable supplier discovery.

  5. F252

    14 cron heartbeats

    May 10, 2026

    Every cron job pings BetterUptime on completion — silent failures now alert within 60 seconds instead of hiding in Vercel logs.

  6. F253

    AI transparency dashboard

    May 10, 2026

    Public eval results at /developer/evals — first dental SaaS to publish per-task accuracy, fallback frequency, and provider mix openly.

  7. F254

    5 competitor comparison pages

    May 10, 2026

    /compare/carestack, /compare/curve, /compare/cliniify, /compare/mocdoc, /compare/pappyjoe — fact-grounded, side-by-side, no marketing fluff.

  8. F255

    Lighthouse 95+ and WCAG AA

    May 10, 2026

    Every public page audited and lifted to Lighthouse 95+ on performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO; WCAG AA contrast verified.

  9. F257

    Public press kit

    May 10, 2026

    /press carries logos, boilerplate, key stats, recent milestones, and a single press contact — press and award judges no longer email asking.

  10. F258

    Trust strip on 5 pages

    May 10, 2026

    DPDP, UK GDPR, AES-256, sub-processors, and uptime badges visible on landing, pricing, marketplace, lab, and developer pages.

Up Next

— next 30 days

  1. Vercel Build Machine cost optimization (Standard tier switch)

    Drop from Turbo to Standard once the credit-approval window closes — same build success rate, ~40% lower monthly compute.

  2. Fix 8 broken pages (Vercel routes-manifest bug)

    Engineering case open with Vercel — pages built but 404 in prod. Workaround in place; root cause in flight.

  3. Capterra, G2, Software Advice, GetApp listings live

    Four marketplaces complete — buyer-intent traffic from "best dental software" searches lands directly on a verified Dentospire profile.

  4. Product Hunt launch

    Coordinated launch day on Product Hunt, with a 60-second product video, hunter-asked thread, and live Q&A from the dentist-founder.

  5. First customer testimonial published

    Video + written testimonial from the first paying clinic — full clinic name, with-permission photos, real numbers from their first 30 days.

  6. Studio Tale 90-second demo video

    Vendor-produced narrated demo (no founder face, no founder voice). Voice-over + UI screen capture. Embedded on /demo, /press, and landing.

  7. Patient portal Tamil + Marathi launch

    Full UI translation + clinic-side toggle so the portal greeting and booking flow render in the patient's preferred regional language.

  8. WhatsApp Cloud API integration

    Move from Twilio sandbox to Meta Cloud API direct — green-tick verification, branded sender, lower per-message cost, full delivery receipts.

  9. DLT (Smartping) sender registration

    DLT entity + header + template approval finalized so SMS reminders deliver reliably across Jio / Airtel / Vi without scrubbing.

  10. eMudhra DSC unblock and DPIIT filing

    Org DSC application lands; NSWS prefilled package submits; DPIIT recognition number unlocks the SISFS / IPR / GeM portal trio.

Q3 2026

— July to September

  1. Mobile native apps (iOS + Android via PWA-to-native wrap)

    Capacitor wrap of the existing PWA — App Store + Play Store presence with push notifications, biometric login, and on-device camera capture.

  2. Insurance API integration (TPA + Star Health + ICICI Lombard)

    Direct EMI / cashless eligibility checks at chairside — patient consent, plan lookup, pre-auth submission without leaving the consult screen.

  3. ABHA integration (national health ID)

    Ayushman Bharat Health Account linkage — patient-controlled record sharing, ABDM-compliant consent flow, and verifiable health-record exports.

  4. 50 paying clinics target

    From single-digit to 50 paying clinics by end of Q3. Channel mix: warm referrals, two India dental conferences, and Capterra / G2 inbound.

  5. Series A discussion (or NOT — bootstrap commitment)

    Default plan: zero VC. Will only revisit if a clinic-aligned strategic comes inbound with terms that don't compromise the price-fairness model.

  6. 5 dental colleges pilot programs

    Free for first-year residents — they learn on Dentospire, graduate into clinics, and bring the workflow with them. Long-term distribution lever.

2027 Vision

— directional, not committed dates

  1. Top 5 by clinic count in India

    From a standing start in 2024 to top-five by paying-clinic count in the Indian dental SaaS market — a function of price fairness, AI quality, and dentist-built workflow.

  2. 200+ paying clinics

    200 paying clinics on annual or quarterly plans across India and the UK, with a verified retention rate above 90% on the renewal cohort.

  3. UK clinic onboarding

    First UK clinics live with full DPA, sub-processor, and ICO-registration coverage — Dentospire UK as the reference deployment for AI-first dental SaaS.

  4. AI X-ray training data: 100,000+ verified cases

    Consented, dentist-validated X-ray corpus — drives accuracy gains without sending PHI off-platform and underwrites a first-party model in 2028.

  5. Custom Dental AI model — research lane

    Dental-specialized model, not just a routing layer. Trained on the verified corpus, served via the existing 8-provider fallback chain as the primary node.

Long-term

— 5-year North Star, by April 2031

"#1 in AI-first dental SaaS in India by April 2031 — bootstrapped, founder-run, 5,000-10,000 paying clinics, no acquisitions, no IPO."

Locked. Not negotiable.

#1 in AI-first dental SaaS in India

Locked North Star. Measured by paying-clinic count, AI feature depth, and net retention — not headcount, not press, not funding rounds.

5,000-10,000 paying clinics

Range reflects realistic v ambitious — both fully achievable on the bootstrap cost structure with the existing AI provider chain and team shape.

Bootstrapped, founder-run

Same operating model as today — practicing-dentist founder, small full-time team, no investor pressure shaping the product against clinic interests.

0 acquisitions, 0 IPO

We are not for sale. The whole point of bootstrapping is to keep the company aligned with clinics and patients — exits compromise that alignment.

How we prioritize

Code first. Anything that touches the product code path outranks everything else on a given day — filings, outreach, hiring, marketing, admin all wait. The product is the one thing only we can do; most other work can be paused without compounding risk. So when something has to slip, it slips off the non-code track.

Least burnout, most profit. When the two ever conflict, burnout wins. Three missed nights, a skipped clinic day, or a cancelled trip are hard stops — we pull scope, not hours. The 5-year North Star assumes a small, founder-run team that's still around in 2031 with the same judgement and energy. Sustainable pace is a feature, not a constraint.

No VC pressure. Bootstrapped means we only build what clinics will actually pay for, not what a board deck says hyper-scales. Free tier stays free, India pricing stays India pricing, and we don't need to extract maximum revenue per clinic to keep the lights on. That changes the menu of choices we'll even consider.

Real clinic feedback drives the queue. Every feature on "Up Next" traces to a clinic that asked for it, blocked on it, or paid for it. Internal pet projects get queued behind anything a paying clinic surfaces in support. The roadmap above is a public proxy for the support inbox.

Submit your idea

Missing a feature? Spotted a workflow that should be 3 clicks instead of 7? The team reads every email and the dentist-founder triages personally. The best idea wins — no committee, no waterfall, no quarterly planning ritual.
