What it does
Type six numbers from last month and the Snapshot self test shows you the four ratios we look at first in every practice we meet, each one against the healthy range for a solo general practice. No sign up, nothing stored, sixty seconds.

What you will need
- Collections last month. What was actually paid, not what was billed.
- Gross production last month, from your practice software.
- Everything the practice spent last month before paying you. Your profit and loss total expenses line, minus your own pay.
- Team pay last month, wages plus payroll taxes and benefits.
- Hygiene production and hygiene wages last month if you have them. Optional.
How to read it
- Green means the number sits inside the healthy range. Leave it alone this quarter.
- Amber means it is close. Worth a look, not a panic.
- Red means it is the one thing to work on first. The Snapshot names the lesson in the library that explains it.
One month is a hint, not a verdict
A single month swings with a big lab bill or a holiday week. If a number comes back red, run two more months. If it is red three times, it is real, and it is where the money is.
What it is not
It is not a diagnosis of your practice. It is the first three minutes of one. The real Snapshot uses twelve months of your figures, your tax returns and a conversation.
Want the three numbers that matter most in your practice, from your own figures? That is what a Snapshot is. See the Path.
