Describe a product, approve the spec, ship the software. That's GreatCTO. Until now the catalog covered ten US service industries — home services, retail, proptech, fitness, HR, and the rest — 40 buildable products across six pipelines.
As of this week it's 15 industries and 60 products. The interesting part isn't the number. It's that all five new verticals are regulated — and GreatCTO now builds for them with the compliance review attached, not bolted on later.
The five new verticals
| Industry | Products |
|---|---|
| 🩺 Allied health & clinics | Patient scheduling · Clinical charting · Insurance claims · Patient intake |
| 🦷 Dental practices | Dental scheduling · Treatment planning · Dental claims · Recall & reactivation |
| 🛡️ Insurance agencies | Quote management · Policy management · Commission management · Agency CRM |
| 🧾 Accounting & tax firms | Client books · Tax workflow · Document portal · Engagement billing |
| ⚖️ Law firms & solo practitioners | Matter management · Document automation · Client intake · Trust & billing |
These aren't demo scaffolds. Each product maps to a real build pipeline — the healthcare "winning formula" (scheduling + charting + claims + intake), the insurance product surface (quote → policy → commission), the law-firm stack (matter → documents → trust accounting) — chosen from how these businesses actually run, not from what's easy to generate.
What makes it different: the compliance reviewer comes with the build
Anyone can generate a CRUD app for a dental office. The hard part of regulated software isn't the CRUD — it's the rules around it. So when you build in one of these verticals, GreatCTO detects the archetype and attaches the matching domain reviewer automatically, before a line ships:
- Allied health & dental → HIPAA / PHI review (encryption, access control, BAA surface, CDT/ICD coding)
- Insurance → NAIC / ACORD review (actuarial auditability, anti-discrimination pricing, filing standards)
- Accounting & tax → SOX ITGC + IRS review (segregation of duties, ASC 606, 1099, Circular 230, taxpayer-data safeguards)
- Law firms → the legal reviewer (below)
The reviewer writes a threat model, flags the domain-specific risks, and signs off before the build proceeds. You still approve one spec — the compliance expertise runs inside the pipeline, not in your head.
The one I'm proudest of: a legal archetype
Law-firm software has failure modes no generic reviewer catches, so GreatCTO got a brand-new legal archetype with a dedicated reviewer that understands the profession's actual obligations:
- UPL (unauthorized practice of law) — the software must inform, not advise; attorney review is a structural gate, not a disclaimer.
- IOLTA / client trust accounting — the no-commingling rule, per-client ledgers, three-way reconciliation, no drawing earned fees before they're invoiced. Get this wrong and it's a bar complaint, not a bug.
- Attorney-client privilege — Model Rule 1.6: encryption, matter-level access, metadata scrubbing.
- Conflict-of-interest screening — adverse-party checks that block intake before a conflict is created.
- E-filing & court integration — PACER / CM-ECF, FRCP 5.2 redaction of PII.
That's the difference between a build that looks like legal software and one a solo practitioner can actually run without risking their license.
What else shipped this cycle
The verticals are the headline, but the engine got sharper underneath them:
- Measured product quality. Every generated product now gets an automated 0–100 quality score (archetype-aware) — a clean build benchmarks ~89/100. "The AI built it" is no longer the quality argument; the number is.
- Cross-model review. High-stakes diffs are red-teamed by a different model family (via OpenRouter) before they land — because a model reviewing its own family's code is blind to its own class of mistakes.
great-cto upgrade --self. One command self-upgrades the CLI, detecting however it was installed (npm / pnpm / volta / npx). Plus a quiet update notice when a new version ships.- A leaner board. The local build dashboard (
great-cto board) now bundles cleanly on a fresh install and runs fully offline — no external fonts or CDNs.
