What a PracticeHound screening actually looks like.

Two complete screening reports — one deal the engine rejected, one it cleared for diligence. Fictional practices. Real product output.

Illustrative example — fictional practice and sample figures.

Internal medicine practice — the deal that looked fine on paper

The broker teaser claimed $900,000 in seller earnings — enough to pass a first-pass screen and justify requesting the full CIM. The CIM's actual financials showed $350,000. PracticeHound screens the CIM's numbers against your own stated assumptions, and the engine caught the gap.

What to notice

  • DSCR of 0.14× against a 1.25× floor — at the asking price, this practice can't cover its own loan payments.
  • Asking price of $3,000,000 vs. a maximum supportable price of $343,101. Red flags like these force a SKIP as a hard rule in code — the math is deterministic, and the AI analysis that writes the rationale and diligence questions can never override a red flag.

Family medicine practice — cleared for diligence, with homework attached

A retiring owner, stable revenue, and debt service the practice's earnings can support. The report still arrives with open questions and a diligence checklist — a CONTACT is a starting point, not a conclusion.

What to notice

  • DSCR of 2.31× on the seller's stated numbers, with every figure the verdict rests on shown in the report.
  • A CONTACT means: "Worth pursuing IF these unverified numbers hold up under diligence. This is not a statement that this is a good deal."

This is the exact report you download for every deal you screen — the same math, flags, rationale, and diligence questions, run against your own buyer profile.

Screening tool — not legal or financial advice; confirm with an SBA-preferred lender and a healthcare attorney before acting.
