Understanding it

Isn't missing calls during procedures just... the job?

Missing them is the job. What the caller receives in the next sixty seconds is a choice — voicemail, or an instant text with a booking link and a kept callback promise. The first loses the race; the second usually stays in it. The free assessment scores which one your practice has.

How many calls can I really be missing?

Count your unreachable slice honestly: procedure hours plus closed hours often leave 15% or less of the week where a live pickup is possible. Your phone system may already log missed calls — most practitioners who check are surprised. If you can't check, that's the tracked question in the assessment, and "I'd be guessing" is itself the finding.

Are the callers I miss even serious? They didn't leave voicemails.

The measured data says serious: in a live practice we measure, inquiries from uncovered windows closed at 67% once booked — better than the promptly-handled ones. New patients don't leave voicemails because they don't owe you patience yet — they have a problem now and two more results on their screen.

Is this an answering service?

No. We measure what your missed calls currently receive, then scope a floor — which may involve automation, humans, or both, depending on where your window actually gapes. Selling the fix before the measurement is the habit we exist to break.

Is my practice a fit?

Who is this for?

Solo and small hands-on practices: dental, med spa, therapy and counseling, chiropractic, PT, massage, veterinary — anyone whose work requires being unreachable for real stretches of the day.

I'm a therapist — my sessions mean my phone is off for 50 minutes at a time. Fit?

You're the purest case of the door: recurring 50-minute unreachable blocks, no front desk, and new clients who often call several practices in one sitting. A floor under those blocks matters more for you than for anyone with staff.

I already have a front desk. Still relevant?

The measured practice in our data has staff — and still lost a third of its inquiries to uncovered moments (other line, lunch, checkout, human). The assessment scores your actual floor, staff included; if the floor holds, the score says so.

Does this involve patient data or PHI?

No. Test calls are ordinary new-patient inquiries from personas we control. We measure your intake, never your patients, and the assessment asks about operations only.

How it works

What's in the free assessment?

Ten questions: practice type, inquiry volume, channels, what happens mid-procedure and after hours, callback speed, follow-up count, patient value. You get a 0–100 score, four axis scores worst-first, and a written report with a monthly cost estimate from your own numbers.

Who writes the report?

The written analysis is produced by Claude, an AI model, from your answers and computed scores only — every claim traces to something you said. The scoring is published, deterministic math. We name the AI because it's true.

What does the $500 discovery involve?

Five business days of timed test calls against your real line — during procedure blocks, lunch, after hours, per your written permission — logging what comes back and when, timestamped at the source. Then the measured report beside your self-reported one, and a working session on what it found.

Will test calls disrupt my day?

They're a handful of ordinary-sounding inquiries across five days — the kind your practice already receives hourly. None book real appointment slots, and every probe is identified to you after the window closes.

Money

Why pay $500 when consultants audit free?

Free audits are sales calls in costume. The $500 buys five days of real measurement with no pitch obligation — if your floor holds, "confirmed covered, here's proof" is the deliverable, and the engagement can end there.

What do fixes cost?

Builds start at $2,500, quoted in writing after the discovery, scoped to where your window actually gapes. The floor is published because hidden prices waste everyone's time.

What does doing nothing cost?

That's the number your free report estimates — inquiries × miss rate × close rate × patient value, from your own answers. The math is here, fully in the open. For well-booked practices it's usually four to five figures monthly.

Is the $500 credited toward a build?

It's priced as its own deliverable — that independence keeps the findings honest. When a build follows, the discovery becomes its baseline and the post-build remeasurement is included.

After, and objections

What happens after I get my score?

You have the report and the estimate. Strong score — keep it, you're done. Leaking score — the report's next step is the discovery, booked and prepaid online in one step. No sales sequence.

What if the discovery says my floor already holds?

Then you own a timestamped report proving it — useful the next time someone cold-calls selling your practice an answering service for calls you're "definitely losing."

How do I know you won't inflate findings to sell a build?

The discovery is priced to stand alone, so "your floor holds" is a deliverable we can afford. Every finding carries timestamps you can check. Estimates and measurements are labeled separately in writing — padding would show.

Never heard of you. Why trust you?

Don't — verify. The score is free and shows its work. The discovery is $500 against timestamps you can inspect. Every step is sized so you're never trusting us past the evidence in hand. Who we are: about page.
