The math
We price the blindfold, not a fantasy loss.
Most calculators in this category invent "lost revenue." Ours computes something more honest and more useful: the monthly revenue FLOW arriving with unknown origin — the share of your income you can't steer.
Four numbers, multiplied
| Factor | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| New arrivals per week | Your answer — midpoint of the range you pick |
| × unknown-origin share | Band keyed to your score (10–75%) — how much of the flow has no knowable source |
| × close rate for your business type | Conservative working assumption, stated in the report |
| × value of one relationship | Your answer |
A dental practice with 28 new arrivals a week, scoring in the "Leaking" band (45% unknown), a 25% close rate and a $2,500 average patient: 28 × 4.3 × 45% × 25% × $2,500 ≈ $33,900 a month arriving with no known origin. Not lost — arriving. But every renewal, budget, and cut decision touching that $33,900 is made blind.
Estimates from your own answers using stated assumptions — labeled that way in every report. The traced discovery replaces the estimate with a real month followed through your records.
What the blindfold costs in practice
- The quiet carrier gets cut. The channel actually producing — often referrals or the Google profile — shows up nowhere, so it gets no protection when budgets tighten.
- The loud passenger gets renewed. The spend with the prettiest self-report survives every review, whether or not it ever produced a patient.
- Every new channel is a coin flip. Without a baseline of what works, each new spend is evaluated by the same gut feel that couldn't evaluate the last one.
That's why this door prices the FLOW and not a made-up loss: the flow is the size of the decisions you're making blind. A $33,900 monthly stream steered by mood is a bigger business problem than a $3,000 leak you can see.
