What this means
At this level, no-shows are often costing the equivalent of one full day of revenue each month — sometimes without anyone realizing it. The goal is to make the cost visible so you can prioritize what to fix first.

How this was calculated
Methodology v2026.01.1. These estimates are directional and depend on inputs and assumptions.

- Reminder lift reduces the no-show rate.
- Recovered appointments × average ticket value.
- Gross margin optional for profit impact.
FAQ
What is reminder lift?
Reminder lift is the percentage reduction in no-shows after reminders are consistently sent.
Are these estimates exact?
No. They are directional so you can see the size of the leak before refining assumptions.
Can I change the assumptions?
Yes. Adjust the inputs to reflect your business and rerun the numbers.
Why use a range instead of a single number?
Ranges reflect uncertainty and help you stress-test best and worst cases.
Does this include profit?
Use the gross margin input to translate revenue impact into profit impact.
