The Practice Readiness Self-Check
You're good with clients — that was never the question. The question is whether the practice around them is a business that scales beyond your hours, or a job you quietly gave yourself. This is twenty questions on the part practitioners neglect. Tick what's true today. Your answers stay in this browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
Operational tooling, not clinical, coaching or professional advice. The Protocol Collective is not a clinical or supervisory body and gives no opinion on your practice with clients. You are the qualified practitioner — read every item against your own scope, ethics, registration and jurisdiction.
0 / 20 in place
I · Offer & positioning
If everyone is your client, no one can find you.
II · Client systems
The difference between a smooth practice and a series of improvised sessions.
III · Delivering with leverage
How you serve more people without giving away more hours you don't have.
IV · The business underneath
Agreements, boundaries and getting paid — the unglamorous part that protects the work.
V · Growth & retention
Whether new clients arrive by design, or by luck and word of mouth you can't repeat.

Your one-page practice readiness checklist — save or print this:
A clear niche and the specific person you're for
A signature program with a named outcome, not just hourly sessions
A price set on the value of the result, not the length of the call
A repeatable way people find you — not luck and referrals alone
An intake and onboarding a new client moves through the same way every time
A session structure and between-session tools clients actually use
Frameworks you reuse, so every client isn't built from scratch
Tools you can hand clients — the leverage beyond the live hour
A written client agreement, and boundaries you hold
Payment handled on time, with cancellations and no-shows covered
Referrals that come by design, not only when you get lucky
Outcomes tracked, and an honest read on why clients stay and leave
This shows you the gaps. The suite closes them.
The self-check tells you where the practice stalls. The Practitioner Suite is the operator's kit for the business around the work — the templates the questions above are really asking for:
Positioning, signature-program and value-pricing frameworks
Intake, onboarding and session-structure templates
Client-facing tools you can deploy under a commercial licence
Client agreements, boundaries and cancellation policies
Referral, retention and outcome-tracking systems
Single-file, operator-grade, paid once, owned forever. The commercial licence means you deploy the tools with your own clients. $697.

A self-assessment of the business of your practice, not of your clinical or coaching work, and not a substitute for your own professional and ethical judgement.
