How we help

From a whole market to the first conversations, in three steps.

Score every hospital

Public, mandated reporting across finance, operations, capacity and quality, on one basis.

Rank on your service lines

Where each hospital’s gaps meet what you offer, with the evidence beside every rank.

01
From every hospital in a market to a first dozen
The challenge
An advisory practice needed to know which hospitals in one market its partners should pursue first.
What we did
Scored every hospital against the practice’s own service lines, then ranked a shortlist of about a dozen with an opportunity matrix.
The result
Partners used it to decide which hospitals to approach first.
02
A medicine manufacturing white paper, built to reuse
The challenge
An advisory firm wanted a readable, sourced point of view on pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing to take to its clients.
What we did
Wrote the paper on the subsector’s structure, economics and pressures, in a modular form the firm can reuse for other manufacturing subsectors.
The result
Delivered as thought leadership for the firm’s clients, with a structure ready for its next subsectors.

Sample

A sample Hospital Opportunity Scorecard.

Each mark is a hospital, placed by effort to win the work and potential value.

Hospital opportunity chart · Example Region

Illustrative

Start with Example General Hospital and Example Regional Health. Example University Health is worth the effort once its records plan is public.

Confirmed: a public source we can point to
Candidate: likely, with a conversation to confirm

Start here: A General Hospital · B Regional Health
Worth the effort: C University Health · D Community Hospital
Small and easy: E Rehabilitation Centre
Not now: F Children’s Hospital

One line per hospital, in the order to approach them
Hospital	Chart position	Est. value$ millions a year · work you could win	Status and evidence	Where you could help	What to check first
A · Example General Hospital	Start here	2 to 4est.	Clear need today · Confirmed	Patient flow: long waits for an inpatient bed	Whether the capacity plan has a sponsor
B · Example Regional Health	Start here	1 to 3est.	Clear need today · Confirmed	Financial recovery: a deficit reported two years running	Who owns the recovery plan
C · Example University Health	Worth the effort	3 to 6est.	Emerging need · Candidate	Digital change: a new patient records system is due	When the purchase opens to bidders
D · Example Community Hospital	Worth the effort	1 to 2est.	Emerging need · Candidate	Support-service costs above its peers	Whether the board has asked for a review
E · Example Rehabilitation Centre	Small and easy	under 1est.	Clear need today · Confirmed	Scheduling and length of stay	Whether another firm already holds the work
F · Example Children’s Hospital	Not now	Not sized	No clear need yet · Candidate	No clear gap to its peers yet	Whether the next plan sets new targets
Behind each line: sources, reporting history, peers and figures. Example source · as of an example date.

Fictional region, hospitals and figures, in US dollars. A ring marks a candidate.

The value

Where the work sits.

Every answer is sized: what hospitals could spend, what is not yet under contract and what you could win.

Value by service line · Example Region

Illustrative

About $90 million a year of addressable work, $35 million of it not yet under contract. A practice could win an estimated $4 million to $8 million a year.

Illustrative table of addressable spend, work not yet under contract and estimated capture by service line for a fictional region’s hospitals
Service line	Addressable spend$ millions a year	Not yet under contract$ millions a year	Est. capture$ millions a year · range	Basis of the estimate
Capacity and patient flow	30	12	2 to 3est.	Hospitals reporting longer waits for beds than their peers
Financial recovery	25	10	1 to 2est.	Hospitals reporting deficits in their public statements
Digital change	20	8	1 to 2est.	System renewals announced in published plans
Support-service costs	15	5	under 1est.	Costs per case above the peer median
Rounded, in US dollars. est. = an estimate, with its basis. Example source · as of an example date.

Fictional figures. Capture is an estimate range with its basis beside it.

Common questions

Before you start.

Who does the work?

AI research, analyst-checked. AI agents gather the public record, and our analysts check it and write the answer.

What is a Hospital Opportunity Scorecard?

Our usual first project, for one market: every hospital scored on public reporting, ranked on your service lines, with a briefing for the first few and the value at stake.

How fast is it?

Days, not months. A first read comes back in days, and the full assessment follows on the scope we agree.

Which sources do you use?

Public, mandated reporting such as financial statements, operating and quality measures and published plans, plus anything you let us use. Every rank carries its source.

Do you cover more than hospitals?

Yes. The same method covers health systems and life-sciences markets such as medicine manufacturing.

Start with one question

Start with one market.

Bring us a market and your service lines. We’ll show you which hospitals to approach first and what the work is worth.
