A linked reference can support scope without confirming an exact forecast. Assumption entries identify values that still require local validation. Each field path identifies an input in the common business record.
- Model assumption
All opening amounts and range endpoints are authored allocations. The sources justify relevant clinical, waste and workplace cost categories, not the dollar amounts, construction scope, reserve sufficiency or local approvals.

- Model assumption
Authored service-capacity scenario. Year three reconciles five streams to 649.5 monthly completed appointments at a weighted $400 realized fee. Year one uses the explicit monthly ramp; later years increase utilization within the stated capacity. The cited source explains the accounting distinction; it does not verify local demand, fees or collections.

- Model assumption
Authored 27% variable-cost share: 35% payout on specialty-stream revenue (35% of total, hence 12.25% of total revenue), 12.75% clinical supplies and laboratory work, and 2% payment costs. Actual contracts, classification and service costs require verification.

- Model assumption
Authored paid owner and employed-staff roster. The mature $1,287,000 budget combines wages with selected employer-cost and relief allowances; BLS values are national occupation context, not local offers or a complete burden calculation. Visiting-provider payouts are in direct cost, not counted again here.

- Model assumption
Authored occupancy and administrative expense path, including rent, utilities, insurance, software, marketing and routine upkeep. Sources identify responsibilities, not rent, insurance or vendor prices.

- Model assumption
All calculator values are authored. Base: $400 weighted realized fee, 30 completed clinic appointments per day, five days, $137,250 fixed monthly cost and 73% contribution. Sensitivity domains are not market ranges. A 35% starting share plus six percentage points of mature volume per month reaches operating break-even in the shared calculation; this is not an observed opening timeline. Six-day operation requires separately funded provider coverage.
