How we report a result

  • A period and a baseline. Every figure says when it was measured and what it’s compared with. No lifetime totals, no percentages without a base.
  • Admissions as your team counts them. Admission counts come from the program’s own records, and each case says where its numbers came from.
  • Ad spend kept apart from fees. Cost per admission is ad spend divided by admissions. Our fees are never folded in.
  • Names only with written consent. Programs are described by region and level of care until they approve being named.
  • The soft months too. We show what a period produced, including when budgets were cut or ads were paused.
