The job to be done

“Win capacity approval faster — and make rival challenges harder.”

Certificate-of-need applications live or die on the need case. This tool assembles the evidence — capacity, utilization, competitor inventories, and precedent filings from 35 states — into regulator-ready exhibits in days, not months, so your team argues the case instead of hunting the data.

Why this matters
  • Capacity approvals are competitive: the stronger, better-sourced need case wins and withstands rival opposition
  • Precedent awareness changes strategy — what regulators approved and rejected in comparable markets is discoverable, not guesswork
  • Weeks of exhibit assembly compress to days, moving your filing date ahead of rivals’
Key features

Bed and service inventories for the service area with capacity detail from 140,000+ licensed facilities

Utilization and demand context assembled per service line

Competitor inventory exhibits with named sources and as-of dates

Precedent filing lookups across a 35-state CON archive

Exhibit-ready outputs formatted for application appendices

The quality process behind it
  • Named primary source and capture date on every figure — if a number can’t carry its lineage, it doesn’t ship
  • Append-only history: prior observations are preserved, never overwritten, so point-in-time claims hold up
  • Enforced refresh cadence with continuous freshness monitoring against an objective coverage yardstick
  • Analyst review gate before every release — auto-assembled drafts never reach a subscriber unreviewed
Why this outruns AI-alone answers
  • AI summarizes what is visible today; closures, rebrands, and withdrawn postings vanish from the web and cannot be reconstructed later
  • The records live in dozens of inconsistent state portals — without expert curation and cross-referencing, AI answers are confidently wrong
  • Each month of observation widens a historical gap that no new entrant — human or AI — can backfill

How ordering works

1. Request access

Tell us your organization, role, and intended use — most requests get a response within one business day.

2. Qualification review

A brief review confirms scope, licensing lane, and any buyer-type or geography restrictions. We tell you plainly if yours is restricted.

3. Order & payment

Approved orders receive a secure checkout link — card or ACH — or a countersignable quote. Enterprise orders run on invoice.

4. Entitlement provisioned

Access and delivery entitlements are provisioned the same day payment clears, with license terms attached to the order.

Engagement-scoped licensing per application. Quoted after a short scoping call; expedited timelines available for filing deadlines.
