# `Anterior` — Job Pipeline Surface

## 1. Why Anterior

Anterior's "Healthcare Intelligence Cloud" automates prior authorization and clinical decisioning for health plans — a non-rollback dark-factory decision where a wrong prior-auth denial is a healthcare outcome that's hard to undo. The system's decisions must be correct *by construction* with auditable reasoning, which is exactly Speckl's thesis in a different domain. The Speckl × Anterior demo (clinical dosing provenance compile) demonstrates compile-time provenance for clinical decisioning, directly mapping Scott's B.Well regulated-platform experience to Anterior's product surface.

### Full JD body

*Verbatim JD text should be pasted here from the Anterior careers page at outreach time. The v3 shortlist captured the company context and role expectations; the full JD body will be fetched from `https://www.anterior.com` before outreach is approved.*

**Key verified product context from v3 research:**
- "Healthcare Intelligence Cloud" — AI-driven prior authorization and clinical decision automation for health plans.
- Series A, $40M raised Sep 2025, total $64M (verified live announcement banner: *"Anterior brings total funding to $64M to accelerate health plan AI adoption"*).
- ~50–100 people.
- Clinical decisioning is a *non-rollback* dark-factory decision: a wrong prior-auth denial is a healthcare outcome that's hard to undo. The system's decisions must be correct *by construction* with auditable reasoning — exactly Speckl's thesis.
- HIPAA-regulated — same regulatory weight B.Well operated under.
- Courageous product bet: *replace* a $1B+ status-quo prior-auth process with a software-first clinical-decision platform.
- Open roles: actively hiring engineers; platform / SRE / infra roles expected as the $40M round deploys. Re-verify at outreach time.

## 3. Public surface

### Hiring manager (highest confidence)

- **Name:** Mohammad Mian
- **Title:** CEO / Co-founder
- **GH handle:** (to be verified)
- **LinkedIn:** (to be verified)
- **Email domain:** anterior.com (not directly verified in this pass)
- **Signals:** Co-founder; publicly known from press but not directly verified in this research pass. Flag for verification.
- **Confidence:** medium (founder identity publicly known; direct verification pending)

### Adjacent public figures (good reply targets before DM)

- **Ashwin Sreenivas** — CTO / co-founder — technical leadership for the clinical decisioning platform — GitHub/LinkedIn to be verified

### Highest-value reads (3-5)

- Anterior homepage — "Healthcare Intelligence Cloud" product framing
- Anterior funding announcement (Sep 2025) — *"Anterior brings total funding to $64M to accelerate health plan AI adoption"* — growth trajectory
- Prior authorization workflow documentation — the regulatory dark-factory surface
- HIPAA compliance framework for AI clinical decisioning — the regulatory constraint Scott's B.Well work maps to

## 4. Artifact plan

### Premise

The Speckl × Anterior demo is a clinical dosing provenance compile that demonstrates compile-time provenance for clinical decisioning. The artifact proves Scott can build the regulated-platform provenance layer that Anterior's clinical decisioning product needs — directly mapping his B.Well + findhelp regulated-platform experience.

### Repo layout

```
marcus/job-anterior/
├── README.md
└── (references https://github.com/wscoble/speckl-clinical-dosing)
```

### Artifact URL

**https://github.com/wscoble/speckl-clinical-dosing**

This is the Speckl × Anterior demo. Build path is `git clone` + `cd speckl-clinical-dosing`. Expected deliverable is a working 4-artifact compile output.

### What it demonstrates

- Intent-level provenance compiled through Speckl for clinical dosing decisions
- Content-addressed, reproducible clinical decisioning artifacts
- HIPAA-grade audit trail compiled by construction, not verified after the fact
- A working compile output a hiring manager can clone, build, and verify
- Direct mapping of Scott's B.Well regulated-platform experience to Anterior's product surface

### Effort estimate

<50 hours (demo already built; README + packaging for external consumption is the remaining work)

### Sketch

```bash
# Build path
git clone https://github.com/wscoble/speckl-clinical-dosing
cd speckl-clinical-dosing
# Expected: 4-artifact compile output (Speckl provenance manifests)
```
