Live in a working dental practice · early access by industry
01  ·  How it works

Discovery, onboard, live.

A Praktend engagement is six weeks. One human on the hook. A back office that keeps running after we stop watching it.

You operate the practice. The platform operates everything else.
02  ·  What ships, every engagement

Four things in every box.

The platform is custom. The foundation is the same. Whatever we build for you, these four show up underneath it.

An AI team

Twelve coordinators. Nothing off their radar.

Schedule, insurance claims, collections, ad spend, hiring, all watched together, all day. They see the pattern forming before you do, further than any one person could track. They go exactly as deep into your systems as you set, and no further.

One dashboard

Every thread, one login.

Every persona, every thread, every decision waiting on you. Built into the tools you already pay for, not a new database of record.

One team on the hook

One human, accountable.

A senior team runs onboarding, signs the BAA where applicable, and answers when something goes sideways. The team that builds the platform is the team that operates it with you.

HIPAA-grade plumbing

Encrypted, logged, least-privilege.

Your data lives in your own systems. The platform reads and writes, never holds the system of record. Every action logged at the row level.

Proof · Year three live

“I run the platform. The platform runs everything that isn't a patient in my chair.”

03  ·  The build, week by week

Six weeks. No theatre.

Same shape on every engagement. You see working software every Friday, not at the end. Six receipts to show for it.

  1. 01 Week 1 · Diagnose

    Map the work end to end.

    A thirty-minute demo, then a working day with the people doing the work. Every handoff, every tool, every person who touches an engagement. What breaks becomes obvious.

    Friday receipt
    • Demo recording · no deck
    • One real engagement traced start to finish
    • Breakages named, not symptoms
  2. 02 Week 1 · Scope

    Draft the system on paper.

    What's getting built and what isn't, in writing, before a line of code. Screens, flows, data models, integrations, the explicit list of what we will not be touching. You sign off before we build.

    Friday receipt
    • One-page system map
    • Screen-level wireframes for the critical path
    • Explicit non-goals, in writing
  3. 03 Weeks 2 – 4 · Build

    Production grade from day one.

    We write the code, run the integrations, hook up the data. You see it live every Friday, not at the end. No staging environment that nobody looks at. The version on your dashboard is the version we're building.

    Friday receipt
    • Working software in your hands every week
    • Integrations to the systems you already pay for
    • Built, deployed, watched on our infrastructure
  4. 04 Week 5 · Migrate

    Your real data moves in.

    Vendors, customers, projects, invoices, history. Nothing left on the spreadsheet stack. Reconciled against the books before cutover. One source of truth per object, no parallel copies floating around.

    Friday receipt
    • Data pulled from the systems of record
    • Reconciled against the books before cutover
    • No parallel copies, no shadow spreadsheets
  5. 05 Week 5 · Pilot

    One team runs real work.

    No UAT spreadsheet, no theatre. One team uses it on live jobs. The team is in the room. Edge cases surface, we fix them the same day. The first time the platform misses, it gets named, logged, and patched before the next morning.

    Friday receipt
    • One team running real work, live
    • Same-day fixes for what the work surfaces
    • Edge cases logged for the playbook
  6. 06 Week 6 · Live

    The platform runs the back office.

    Steady-state operations begin. The AI team holds the inbound channels, runs the recurring work, surfaces only the decisions that need you. The team stays on the hook for the life of the subscription. The work continues whether you're watching or not.

    Permanent receipt
    • Inbound channels held by the AI team
    • Decisions surfaced to you, not noise
    • The team on call for the life of the subscription

04  ·  SaaS vs Praktend

What you're choosing between.

Off-the-shelf SaaS gets you to ten. Past that, you are paying to bend your work into a shape someone else chose. Praktend is the alternative.

You operate the practice. The platform operates everything else. That is the whole pitch.
