01 / THE METHOD

Stop jumping to tactics.
Diagnose first.

Every case follows the same commercial logic. Learn it once, then apply it to launches, competition, access, growth, and decline.

THE CORE SKILL

Find the leak
in the patient flow.

A case becomes solvable when you quantify where patients are lost—and decide which loss is commercially addressable.

Leverage point: referral breaks down before treatment choice. A sales-only response misses the problem.
