pod built AI agents that know what each insurer requires for each drug—the exact ICD-10 codes, step therapy documentation, and denial triggers. The result: prior authorizations that get approved the first time, not rejected and appealed. Patients get their medications faster, and practices stop losing prescriptions to administrative friction.

An investment management firm needed to modernize—both their applications and their technology capabilities. pod consolidated fragmented systems into two business-critical platforms, and built the foundation for every application that would follow: shared libraries, UX components, style guides, and infrastructure that enables one-click deployment. The applications are now central to daily operations, and their team can build what comes next.

pod worked with business leaders at one of the five largest mutual fund and financial services companies in the world to help them develop a new service offering to their customers: small to mid-sized employers across the US.

A publicly-traded company was building a digital commerce platform through mergers and acquisitions.

The Digital Public Library of America brings together the riches of America’s libraries, archives, and museums, and makes them freely available to the world. pod was a key contributor to the creation of this platform, whose goal is to contain the full breadth of human expression -- from the written word, to works of art and culture, to records of America’s heritage, to the efforts and data of science.

When a global investment firm decided to switch its existing custom HR system to a cloud-based solution, it hit a snag that required some fancy integration. pod stepped in to make it all work together seamlessly.

A venture capital firm needed to validate an investment in patented interactive voice advertising technology. We confirmed the tech was real and differentiated—but found critical security gaps, dangerous key-person concentration, and scaling risks that shaped deal terms and the post-investment plan.

pod worked with imaging leaders at a world-renowned hospital to redesign and rearchitect their web application for evaluating the treatment response of cancer patients who are enrolled
in clinical trials.

pod helped create the Dovetail Health Management System for Dovetail Health, a solution used to optimize the in-home health and medication management of high risk patients in partnership with physicians and health plans.

A media consortium needed to know if a broadcasting framework company was worth acquiring. We found solid technology with a business model that had not kept pace—and IP ambiguity that needed immediate attention. Our findings shaped deal terms and the post-acquisition integration plan.

The Berkman Center for the Internet & Society at Harvard University asked pod to help them in their goal of bolstering the robustness of the internet by providing an alternative route to web content in the event of intentional third-party blocking, hacking or DDoS attacks.
