  • Model assumption

    All opening amounts and ranges are authored allowances. Hill and HHS provide equipment-availability and systems context; the specific supplier price references below inform selected equipment allowances. No contractor bid or rent quote obtained. Allocation totals $425,000, including $150,000 of cash rather than depreciable equipment. JLL reports a much broader all-in 2026 medical outpatient benchmark of $412/sq. ft.; it cannot be applied as a construction-only rate or added on top of overlapping equipment/IT categories. This scenario is a selective second-generation fit-out, and is invalid for a new shell requiring comprehensive medical construction. Specific bounded references: Zenith 320L displayed $7,999 and Earthlite Ellora from $1,699.15. The $55,000 equipment allowance comprises $16,000 for two adjustment tables, $3,000 massage setup, $8,000 PT plinth/exercise equipment, $8,000 examination tools and supports, $6,000 storage/linen/cleaning equipment and $14,000 tax, freight, assembly and equipment contingency. These allocations are authored; no configuration quotation is implied. The $90,000 fit-out is selective reuse/adaptation of an existing clinical unit, not a new medical shell.

  • Model assumption

    Authored capacity times utilization times realized price: daily 20 chiropractic at $95, eight PT at $135, four massage at $95; weighted $105 at 32 appointments. No fee is a payer quote. Supplies 3%, payment costs 2% and variable billing/collection administration 5% give a 10% direct-cost assumption. Year one follows the ramp; year three the mature calendar. Later revenues assume feasible utilization and fee changes, not a sourced growth forecast. Fee context: Bixby Knolls publishes $175 initial and $85 follow-up chiropractic fees and $95 standard massage; Orange Grove PT publishes $135 follow-up for 30–60 minutes. A hypothetical one-in-nine initial chiropractic appointment mix at those two fees averages $95, before case-specific adjustment. This is an illustrative mix, not observed utilization or insured receipts.

  • Model assumption

    Authored annual base pay: owner $120,000, PT $110,000, massage therapist $65,000, coordinator $52,000, half-time aide $26,000. Total $373,000 plus 20% employer-cost and relief allowance gives $447,600. BLS figures supply national context, not offers or owner profit. Payroll rises 4% annually after year three, rounded to whole USD.

  • Model assumption

    Authored annual rent/CAM $60,000; utilities $9,600; insurance $12,000; software/IT $9,600; marketing $18,000; cleaning/repairs $9,600; accounting/licensing/admin $7,200; contingency $6,000. Total $132,000, rising 4% after year three. These are budget assumptions, not sourced prices.

  • Model assumption

    All calculator numbers are authored. Base $105, 32 appointments/day, five days, $48,300 monthly fixed cost, 90% contribution; ramp starts at 40% of mature activity and adds five percentage points monthly. Capacity is 25 chiropractic, 10 PT and five massage slots/day, with 80% base utilization. Sensitivity limits are domains, not market ranges. Six days needs extra paid cover. Eighteen months is a display horizon, not a recovery promise. Fee context: Bixby Knolls publishes $175 initial and $85 follow-up chiropractic fees and $95 standard massage; Orange Grove PT publishes $135 follow-up for 30–60 minutes. A hypothetical one-in-nine initial chiropractic appointment mix at those two fees averages $95, before case-specific adjustment. This is an illustrative mix, not observed utilization or insured receipts.
