New service feasibility

Go/no-go assessment for a service line you're considering adding.

What you'll get

  • Go / no-go recommendation with a 0–100 confidence score and the 3 deciding factors

    Assumes: Confidence score weights market demand (40%), unit economics (40%), and execution risk (20%); below 60 = no-go.

  • Market sizing in your geography: addressable patients, competitor density, drive-time map

    Assumes: Census + payer-mix data within a 15-mile radius (or county for rural); competitor density from NPI registry — does not include hospital-employed providers.

  • Capital + staffing + space + credentialing list with $ ranges and a Gantt-style timeline

    Assumes: Credentialing timelines use national payer averages (90–180 days); your local plans may move faster or slower.

  • 18-month P&L (downside / base / upside) built bottom-up from your reported costs

    Assumes: Base = 70% of national volume benchmark by month 18; downside = 40%; upside = 100%. No hockey-stick scenarios.

  • Top 3 launch risks with concrete mitigation steps and a kill-switch metric for each

    Assumes: Kill-switch = a leading indicator (e.g. < X bookings/month by month 6) that signals it's time to stop or pivot.

  • Partner/lender decision packet (PDF, ~12 pages) with executive summary on page 1

    Assumes: Designed to support a board or capital-partner conversation; not a substitute for full due diligence.

Sample output

Go. Projected year-2 contribution margin: $214K. Top risk: credentialing timeline — start now.

Who this is for

  • Owners considering a specific new service line
  • Practices with a clear hypothesis but no formal analysis
  • Clinics that need a decision document before committing capital

Not the right fit if

  • Owners still exploring multiple unrelated service ideas — start with the Revenue expansion audit
  • Services requiring a hospital affiliation you don't have

How we build it

  1. 1Market sizing uses census, payer-mix, and competitor density data for your zip-code radius.
  2. 2P&L projection uses bottom-up cost build (staff, space, equipment, supplies) — not industry averages.
  3. 3Go/no-go reflects both expected return AND execution risk; we'll say 'no' when the math doesn't justify it.

What we'll ask in intake

  • The specific service you're considering
  • Your geographic market and competitor awareness
  • Capital available and timeline preference
  • Existing staff and space that could be repurposed

No PHI required. Aggregates, percentages, and estimates are enough.
