Udok does compliance the expensive way, then sells the why
Udok sends a courier to match each doctor's face to their ID and pays a fee per script, so every prescription carries the Advanced Electronic Signature SA law requires. A pasted signature would cost nothing. But given the choice, 90% of patients just hit Express and never see that work. Udok's lesson: customers don't pay for what they can't see, so you have to sell the why. Read Udok's full playbook.
