Prontua Phase 0 — Veterinary Interview Plan (São Paulo Metro)
Prontua Phase 0 — Veterinary Interview Plan
Date: 2026-03-29 | Agent: CEO | Issue: MOKA-596 | Confidence: High
Objective
Validate market hypotheses H1–H4 through 15–20 structured interviews with veterinarians across São Paulo metropolitan area. This is a zero-cost, zero-build phase — the only investment is founder time.
Timeline
| Week | Activity | Target |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Apr 1–5) | Recruitment outreach + script finalization | 25+ contacts, 8+ confirmed |
| 2 (Apr 7–12) | First interview batch | 6–8 interviews |
| 3 (Apr 14–19) | Second interview batch + mid-check | 6–8 interviews, preliminary patterns |
| 4 (Apr 21–26) | Stragglers + synthesis + GO/NO-GO report | 15–20 total, final decision |
Target Segmentation (15–20 interviews)
| Segment | Target # | Profile | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo vet / home-visit | 3–4 | Single practitioner, mobile or small office | Validates if the pain exists even without a clinic |
| Small clinic (1–3 vets) | 6–8 | Owner-operator, 1–3 exam rooms | Core beachhead — highest pain, most accessible |
| Medium clinic (4–10 vets) | 3–4 | Practice manager + employed vets | Tests willingness at clinic-level budgets |
| Chain / hospital (10+ vets) | 2–3 | Decision maker (clinical director or ops) | Validates enterprise pricing and integration needs |
| Vet school faculty | 1–2 | Professor or resident | Tests academic angle and early adopter potential |
Geographic focus: São Paulo metro — Moema, Pinheiros, Vila Mariana, Perdizes, Santana, ABC Paulista (high density of premium clinics).

Recruitment message template:
“Olá Dr(a). [Nome], sou [nome], fundador da Moklabs. Estamos pesquisando como veterinários documentam consultas no dia a dia — a ideia é entender se a tecnologia pode ajudar a reduzir o trabalho burocrático. Seria uma conversa de 30min, sem compromisso, presencial ou por vídeo. Posso te pagar um café em troca do seu tempo! Tem interesse?”
Interview Script (45 min max)
Part 1 — Context & Warm-up (5 min)
- How long have you been practicing? What’s your specialty area?
- How many consults do you do per day on average?
- What software/tools do you use in the clinic? (PIMS, WhatsApp, paper?)
Part 2 — Documentation Pain (15 min) [Validates H1, H4]
- Walk me through what happens after a consult ends — how do you document it?
- How long does documentation take per consult? Per day total?
- What’s the most annoying part of documentation?
- Have you ever had a problem caused by incomplete or missing records?
- Have you tried any tool to help with documentation? Why did it work / not work?
- If you could wave a magic wand, what would change about how you handle records?
Part 3 — Concept Test (15 min) [Validates H2, H3]
Show concept card: “Imagine a small device that sits in your exam room, always listening during consults. After each consult, it automatically generates a SOAP note with the key findings, diagnosis, and treatment plan. You review it in 1 minute and it goes into the patient record.”
- What’s your first reaction?
- What concerns come to mind immediately?
- Would you be comfortable with always-on audio recording? What would the tutor think?
- How would this change your workflow?
- If this existed today, what would you pay per month? (open-ended first, then Van Westendorp)
Part 4 — Van Westendorp Pricing (5 min) [Validates H2]
- At what price per month would this be so cheap you’d question the quality?
- At what price would it be a good deal — worth it without thinking twice?
- At what price would it feel expensive but you’d still consider it?
- At what price would it be too expensive to even consider?
Part 5 — Wrap-up (5 min)
- Who else should I talk to? (referral)
- Would you be interested in being an early tester when we have a prototype?
- Can I follow up in 4–6 weeks with an update?
Kill Criteria (GO / NO-GO Gates)
| Metric | GO | RECONSIDER | NO-GO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Documentation cited as top-3 pain (unprompted) | ≥60% of interviewees | 40–60% | <40% |
| Average stated WTP | ≥R$200/mo | R$100–200/mo | <R$100/mo |
| WTP ≥R$400/mo segment | ≥30% of interviewees | 15–30% | <15% |
| Comfort with always-on audio | ≥70% | 50–70% | <50% |
| Interest in early testing | ≥50% | 30–50% | <30% |
Decision rule: All 5 metrics must be GO or RECONSIDER. Any single NO-GO triggers a pivot discussion. Two or more RECONSIDER requires a scope reduction before proceeding to Phase 1.
Data Collection
- Recording: With permission, record interviews (ironic, yes). Otter.ai or phone recorder.
- Notes template: Structured Google Sheet — one row per interview, columns for each hypothesis metric
- Synthesis: After interview 10 and again after 20, write a pattern analysis memo
- Deliverable: Final Phase 0 Validation Report with GO/NO-GO recommendation
Logistics
- Format: In-person preferred (see the clinic, observe workflow). Video call acceptable for chains/hospitals.
- Incentive: Coffee + promise of early access. No cash payments.
- Duration: 30–45 min per interview
- Founder time commitment: ~40 hours total across 4 weeks (including prep, travel, synthesis)
Risks to the Plan
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Low recruitment response rate | Start outreach in Week 0 (now); 3x pipeline (50+ contacts for 20 interviews) |
| Social desirability bias on WTP | Use Van Westendorp (4 price points), not just “would you pay X?” |
| Small sample, non-representative | Segment by clinic size; weight findings by segment; flag if any segment has <3 interviews |
| Interviewee says yes to everything | Focus on past behavior questions (Parts 1-2), not just future intent (Part 3) |
