Telehealth provider directory — need advice

One thing that is still open after sophie_paris’s answer:

What would you measure differently if you were starting again?

If you are comparing against somebody else’s result, check that you are comparing the same measurement taken the same way.

I read this differently. The confidence in this thread is running ahead of the evidence, and I would rather the uncertainty were stated than smoothed over because it is unsatisfying.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

Fair, and it stops being fair at the extremes. The middle of the range is well understood; the ends are where the honest answer is that nobody knows.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. Order of operations matters more than any single choice here: establish a baseline, change one thing, wait long enough for it to express itself, then measure again under the same conditions.
