Fully-loaded growth spend = media (GL 6200) + agency retainer (6200) + tracking & tooling (6210) + the attributed share of internal coordinator labor (6020). Media alone was $43.6K; we report the loaded figure because the loaded figure is what the P&L absorbs.
Dentistry publishes no acquisition-cost benchmark — the ADA Health Policy Institute's expense tables aggregate all practice expenses and never separate advertising. This figure is the group's own, rebuilt from its own GL, and is comparable to its own plan and its own baseline. It is not comparable to an industry number, because there isn't one.
The group ran 11 locations at baseline. Parkway — 11 opened March '26, inside the engagement. Same-store rows cover the 11 sites that existed at Day 0 and are the rows that measure our work; all-in rows include Parkway and are reported so the board sees the whole P&L. We do not blend them, and we do not present the all-in number as growth.
Answer rate is reported on the definition frozen at Day 0: answered by a human in four rings ÷ all calls on all lines, after-hours counted unanswered — a voicemail is a patient who didn't book. The desk's own operating number is narrower: 88% during staffed hours in June, against a Day-0 staffed-hours restatement of 83%. Both bases give the same move, about four and a half points. Setting the 88% staffed-hours reading beside the 78% all-hours baseline would print a ten-point gain that neither basis supports — ten points of definition, not of work — so this pack no longer prints it. Full disclosure of the definition mismatch and both readings: Form 247-P §02②.

READ THIS PAGE IN ONE LINE

Acquisition worked and the economics of what it acquired got slightly worse. Same-store new patients are up 16.9% and cost 12% less to buy; the patients arriving are more insured and less established than the ones already on the books, so payer mix, case acceptance and 90-day production per patient all moved against us. That trade is the mechanism, not a surprise — but it is a real cost and it is printed in the same size type as the wins. Five vitals regressed this month. Named fixes and dates on page 5.

Payback = loaded cost per new patient ÷ average monthly contribution margin per new patient in the first 90 days ($588 production × 62% contribution ÷ 3 ≈ $122/mo). Payback lengthened from 2.0 to 2.1 months against baseline: production per patient fell faster than cost per patient did. Definitions and GL mapping in the appendix, p.6.
9 patients (3.4%) could not be attributed after call-tracking and PMS referral-source reconciliation. They stay in the denominator — we charge ourselves for them rather than flattering the blended number.
Parkway opened March '26 and is four months into a ramp. Its cost per new patient is 3.4× the same-store figure and its payback is 6.0 months. This is what a de novo site costs in a catchment carrying no brand recognition, and it is shown on its own line rather than averaged into the group — averaging it in would hide both the ramp and the same-store result.

WHERE THE NEXT DOLLAR GOES

Local SEO and referral are the cheapest patients we buy — but both are near saturation at current footprint. Paid search carries scale at an acceptable $267. Direct mail is on notice: one more drop with new list + offer; if the loaded cost per new patient isn't under $400 by the Aug 15 read, the $3.5K/mo goes back to paid search. Parkway keeps its budget through the ramp on an explicit clock, not on optimism: if cost per new patient there is not under $450 by the December close, the site moves to organic and referral only. No channel keeps budget on narrative. Only on payback.

WHY THE BOARD SHOULD CARE ABOUT CHAIR-HOURS

At June's realized rate of ~$219 of net production per utilized chair-hour, the group's 1,590 open hours represent roughly $350K/mo of latent net production that requires no new spend to serve — only demand routed to the right pods and a front desk that answers. Read that as a ceiling, not a plan: it assumes the recovered hours produce at the group average, and the pods holding the open hours are the ones producing below it. That is why we throttle ads at Central and North (94% utilization; more spend there buys waitlist, not production) and point the same dollars at South, Cedar Park, and Parkway. Riverside's 262 open hours are gated on the desk fix, not on marketing: demand we route there today leaks at the phone.

SSUBJECTIVE — WHAT OPERATORS REPORTED
OOBJECTIVE — WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY
AASSESSMENT

Acquisition is working and it is not free. Same-store new patients are up 16.9% at 12% lower cost, and the group crossed from the band where 38.8% of practices sit (under 20 new patients per location per month) into the one above it. But the patients we bought are not the patients already on the books: a larger share of first visits are unestablished and insured, so case acceptance fell two points, FFS/cash mix fell two points, the 4100 write-down line rose, and production per new patient fell 3.9%. Five vitals regressed. That trade is the predicted mechanism, not an accident — volume and acceptance pull against each other, and this month volume won — but the board should read it as the real price of the volume rather than as noise. Net of it, the same-store increment annualises to roughly $540K of collections against $175K of program cost, which clears; it clears by less than the headline volume number implies.

The binding constraint has moved inside the building: phone coverage at one pod and chair capacity at two others now cap collections before marketing does. That is the correct problem to have in month 11 and is cheaper to fix than demand was to build. Direct mail is the one demand-side experiment underperforming; it gets one disciplined iteration, not a quiet renewal. Parkway is on a ramp clock, not a pass.

(Media + agency retainer + tracking/tooling + attributed coordinator labor) ÷ new patients who completed a first visit — not leads, not bookings, not calls. Reactivation is excluded both sides; unattributed new patients stay in the denominator. Read it against your own baseline only: dentistry publishes no acquisition-cost benchmark. ADA HPI never separates advertising, no PMS publisher reports one — an "industry CAC" for a dental group does not exist.

Broken appointments & answer rateOPERATIONS VITALS
Broken appointment: appointments missed or cancelled inside 24 hours ÷ scheduled. Combined, not split — locations coded them inconsistently, and the only published dental figure (6.9% no-show + 12.9% cancellation, 8,500+ practices) compares only combined, at 19.8%. Answer rate: calls answered by a human in four rings ÷ all calls on all lines, after-hours counted unanswered — the definition frozen at Day 0 in Form 247-B, and the only basis on which this pack differences current against baseline. The staffed-hours reading is a second, narrower instrument the desk manages to day to day; it is printed in note ᵍ on p.2 and is never subtracted from an all-hours figure, in either direction. Internal, no published benchmark — the ceiling is our own best desk.

Baseline & attribution rulesHOW WE KEEP SCORE HONESTLY
Baseline = trailing 6-month average immediately preceding engagement start, frozen at kickoff. Attribution = call tracking + form source, last non-direct touch, reconciled monthly to the PMS; the controller signs the tie-out. Nothing untraceable to the P&L or PMS ships. Same-store vs all-in: the baseline covers the 11 locations open at Day 0. Any site opened during the engagement is reported on its own line and never blended into a growth rate — a group that adds a location and reports the total as growth is measuring its construction schedule, not its marketing. Regressions: vitals that move against the client are printed in the table at the same weight as the ones that move for it. A pack with no regressions in it has not been read.
