How the Stack Finder ranks tools
Every pick comes from a points system you can read in stack_finder_core.js. It runs in your browser, and it only uses your answers plus the facts on each tool page.
- Practice type: +3 when a tool's listing says it is built for your type (prescribers, therapists or groups), +1.5 for general behavioral-health tools, +1.5 for "solo/small practice" tools, −2 for tools aimed at large organizations. Prescribers get −1 on therapy-only scribes.
- Payment model: +2 for EHRs that list insurance billing when you take insurance (−4 if claims are "not a focus"). Cash-pay favors private-pay tools and down-ranks insurance-only billing tools.
- Volume: under 15 visits a week favors pay-per-use and low-cost plans. 40+ a week favors unlimited plans.
- Budget: your budget is split across the jobs you need (the EHR gets 1.5 shares), after the listed cost of tools you already use. A tool whose entry price fits its share gets +2, over 2× gets −2, and over 4× gets −4. Free tools get +2.
- Must-haves: +4 when the listing shows the must-have, +2 to +3 when it's an add-on, on some plans or reported by third parties. When we can't confirm it, the tool gets 0 and we flag it. Tools whose listing shows the must-have isn't offered are left out.
- Your EHR: scribes, phones, intake, billing and inbox tools get +3 when their listing names your EHR as an integration (+5 if "works with my EHR" is a must-have), and +1 for "works with any EHR" or copy-paste.
- Tie-breaker: 0.3 × the editorial AIOP Score, which is calculated from the same published facts.
