The launch journey, in order.
Starting a practice isn't a checklist. It's a build sequence with dependencies, timing windows, and traps. Most physicians launch the way they were taught to do residency — show up, work hard, hope it works. That's how 90 to 180 days of revenue get lost to credentialing, working capital gets burned on the wrong EHR, and marketing money goes to programs that don't fit.
This is the order of operations. Use it for free. Hire us when you want the build crew.
