Fit score measures alignment with selected preferences, not proof that required capabilities are available. Documented requirements rank ahead of options needing verification; fewer unverified must-haves rank first, then the unrounded preference score.
Decision Report: Today, Future and costs
Scores are approximate editorial preference alignment, not probabilities or proof of capabilities or affordability. Today and Future normalize the active weights separately: adding multi-location changes the denominator and the relative weight of every criterion. A higher Future score is not a forecast of improvement. Ranking prioritizes documented requirements, then fewer unverified must-haves, then the unrounded preference score; rounded ties do not imply equivalence.
One decision, separate scenarios. Today and Future use the same editorial scoring model and evidence dataset. Evidence status and the count of unverified must-haves take priority over preference scores; exact ties sort alphabetically; rounded scores are not proof of a meaningful difference.
Florida · Injectables and facial treatments. Intended Today budget $200–400/month; model bucket $200–500. This is not a verified cost limit. Growth horizon: 24 months; capability evidence is evaluated as of report generation, not forecast to that future date.
Every selected must-have, including inventory, memberships and multi-location operations, needs current vendor documentation. Unknown means verification needed, not absence. Editorial ratings affect preference scores only; they cannot confirm a capability. Florida is context only, not a state-specific regulatory assessment.

What changes the preference order?
Today: AestheticsPro versus Pabau — Team size: +3.1 editorial points; Memberships: -2.7 editorial points. Capability evidence remains separate: AestheticsPro has 0 unverified must-haves; Pabau has 0. Fewer gaps take priority over preference points. Selected capability claims are vendor-documented; quoted plans and exit portability still need validation.
Future: Pabau versus PatientNow — Budget preference: +3.9 editorial points; Memberships: +2.0 editorial points. Capability evidence remains separate: Pabau has 0 unverified must-haves; PatientNow has 0. Fewer gaps take priority over preference points. Selected capability claims are vendor-documented; quoted plans and exit portability still need validation.
Largest active influences: Clinical workflow (about 30% of Today weight), Team size (about 26% of Today weight), Budget preference (about 13% of Today weight). Location growth adds multi-location operations to Future.
Future assumptions
2 to 6 providers; 1 to 2 locations. Other changed assumptions: none; all other Today needs retained.
