From the Tale of Two Dentists

Same production. A $7.8 million difference.

Emily and Michael ran nine-operatory practices with similar production. Emily sold for $10.9 million. Michael's practice was valued at $3.1 million. Emily had built a practice that ran without her. Michael's ran on Michael. This assessment shows which one you're building.

Why it's worth 5 minutes

See what a buyer sees

Buyers pay for a practice that runs without its owner. This shows how much of yours still runs on you.

Know where value leaks

Your weakest areas are where a buyer will discount the price. You'll know which two to fix first.

Your results

Here's how your practice scored.

Overall score

64/100

Moderately Ready

The practice works, but too much still depends on you or on informal habits. Buyers will discount for that — and it's very fixable with focused work.

Leadership is scored out of 10 and every other area out of 15, so compare the bars, not the raw points.

Where to focus first

Material value drag7 of 15

KPIs

Limited measurement usually means problems are discovered through their consequences. That is expensive and very fixable: a small set of trusted, regularly reviewed numbers catches drift while it is still cheap to correct. Start narrow rather than comprehensive.

Material value drag5 of 10

Leadership

Owner dependence at this level usually builds by accident, because deciding it yourself is always faster than developing someone who can. That trade compounds until the practice cannot run a week without you, and it is the first thing any buyer prices. Build the layer beneath you.

Your strongest area: Product — Buyer-ready strength

Quality this consistent usually reflects a defined standard rather than uniformly excellent individuals. The risk is that the standard lives in your own calibration of what is acceptable and has never been made explicit enough to survive a new provider. Make the standard teachable.
