FAQ

Straight answers.

The questions operators actually ask us, answered the way we'd answer them across a table. The first one is the one everybody thinks and most people don't say.

You have a free platform full of people in recovery. What stops you from taking my families to another center?

Say the uncomfortable version out loud, because it's the right question. You would be handing your families to a company that also talks to families for a living. If we wanted to build a business out of moving people between centers, you would be the input.

Here is why we can't, structurally and on paper. We are never paid for anyone. We don't buy calls, we don't sell calls, and nothing we are paid depends on who is admitted anywhere. There is no version of a person moving from your center to another one where money reaches us, so there is no incentive to build the machinery that would do it.

We don't route anyone, anywhere. Not to you, not to a competitor, not to a "resource partner." A member who asks the platform where to go is not handed a list we were paid to assemble.

The connection is yours while you're paying and theirs forever. A member who joins from your lander carries your code. Suppression is per center. Attribution and signals stop the day the fee stops. Members keep everything either way, because the account was never yours or ours to hold.

And the part that should reassure you most: the platform only works if families believe it is not anyone's sales tool. The moment it starts steering people, it is worth nothing to them and therefore nothing to you. Our incentive to keep that wall is exactly as strong as your incentive to have it there.

What's in the covenant?

The commitments above, in writing, in the agreement you sign — not as a page on a website we could quietly edit. It states that we do not source, route, or steer any person to any center; that nothing we are paid depends on who is admitted; that no payment, gift, or favor is tied to anyone's care in either direction; and that we build nothing that would do those things.

It also fixes what your center can and cannot see about your members: joined, engagement in bands, and requests that come to you — never member posts, never check-in content, which is off by default. Your alumni coordinator posts announcements and reads aggregates. That wall doesn't move for anybody, including us.

Are your numbers real?

The numbers in an engagement are yours, not ours. Three things keep that honest.

Nobody here is paid on any number. Not the founder, not an account manager, not on admits, days, or spend. There is no bonus that a flattering report unlocks.

We never count an admission. Your intake does, in your system, the way it already does it. We don't have a competing count to defend.

The paid day comes from your remits. Not from our software's idea of what happened — from what was actually delivered, authorized, and collected. If our picture and your remits disagree, the remits are right.

You will also notice this site publishes no figures at all: no industry averages, no case-study percentages, no "centers like yours see." We don't have data we could stand behind for those claims, so we don't make them.

What does it cost?

We don't publish fees, because a number without a look behind it is a guess dressed up as a quote. What we can tell you is the shape.

The first look is free — fifteen minutes with the founder, after we've looked at your center from the outside. The Teardown is paid, and its fee applies in full to the engagement if we go forward, comes back if we're the ones who decide it isn't a fit, and is yours to keep if you decline. The Blueprint carries a flat fee, stated once, in writing, before you commit to anything. After that it's a monthly fee for running the work.

What happens to the families we can't take?

They still get the platform, free, forever, whether or not they ever set foot in your building — no bed available, wrong level of care, can't pay, doesn't matter.

What we do not do is send them somewhere else. Not to a competitor, not to a partner, not to a list. That would make us a referral business, and the whole structure above exists so that we aren't one. They get a place to stand and the material they need, and nobody is paid a cent for where they end up.

For a center this turns out to matter more than it sounds like it should. A family you couldn't admit but treated well is a family that tells people how you handled it.

How is this different from an agency?

An agency is paid when the phone rings more, so its advice is always to buy more of something. That isn't dishonest, it's just the shape of the arrangement, and it stops at the inquiry.

We start further back and finish much further forward: whether families can find you at all, what happens on the first call, what makes them believe it's you, what happens in the year after they leave — and then the reconciliation that says what all of it cost per paid day. When a center does need more families finding it, we manage that work too, and we measure it against days rather than clicks. Story first, spend second.

Do you handle patient information?

Only what your own systems already hold, only inside them, and only under your policies. Where the law requires it, we sign the agreements your compliance officer needs before anything is built, and every system is designed on the assumption that a regulator could read the transcripts. Your compliance officer has a seat at the Blueprint review.

On the platform side, the wall described above is the answer: check-in content is off by default and your center never reads member posts. This website is not a place for anyone's health information, and we ask that you not put any into the form or into email.

Will this replace my admissions team?

No, and we don't sell headcount reduction. The work we build is the work nobody was doing: the person who reached out when the desk was on another call, the family that went quiet, the alumnus nobody called in month four. Your people keep every real conversation, every clinical question, and every decision.

What if it doesn't work?

Then you stop. The engagement continues only as long as it's clearly worth it to both sides, and you see the work every month against the picture we recorded before anything changed — measured with your own figures, not ours.

Whatever was built stays yours: your accounts, your name, your data. Your members keep their accounts regardless, because those were never part of the deal. And before any of that, the first look may tell you plainly that there's nothing here worth paying for yet. We'd rather say that than build something you don't need.
