I admire what you are doing, I really do.

That said, just putting my business hat on.. you haven't really proved your vision isn't crazy. The question is: how do you intend to generate traction + revenue? Just having an unique model, and a centralized community isn't going to be enough. As they say: build it and they won't necessarily come. In my eyes, you will need to rely on SEO a lot. The good news is that your site/model is unique in a field filled with a lot of spam. So it shouldn't be too tough to get high quality links.

The other good thing is you don't need a gazillion users since people (drug companies) will pay a lot for a very focused set of users with a specific disease.

But 50 pages indexed in Google right now isn't going to cut it. Not suggesting you go pull off a Demand Media, but you're gonna need some content.

Yup, working with limited resources initially to test the concept and get where we want to as a team, but you've got the right idea!
