For this business, the first customer is Independent practices, home-health agencies, therapy groups, billing firms, and health-information vendors.

Write your current assumption.
Gather evidence from three official or first-hand sources.
Complete the required decision, calculation, or policy.
Ask a potential customer or qualified adviser to challenge it.
Revise the decision and assign a due date.
Practical example
