I agree with you. The value of the heuristic is in the 99.9% and the value of the person is in the 0.01%. That's why doctors are so valuable. It's for those times when someone comes back and says, "It didn't work."

I imagine a lot of actions you would have to take to make a small company profitable would make it be unappealing to a company with more money. Better to burn the cash and lay a giant foundation rather than just build a tiny house. Then you
