Third-party claim
“While many successful clinics exist today, the wheels tend to start to fall off when scaling, where all of a sudden, a clinic’s reach has surpassed its captive population. Otherwise, it becomes a series of continual cost-cutting until there is nothing left to cut… save for the business itself.”
Closing of the guest essay by Ben Spielberg. Generalization that cash-pay ketamine clinics fail when they scale past their local population or cost-cut until the business itself is cut; the essay's thesis (Numinus selling its clinics to Stella as the latest example) is that ketamine clinic chains keep closing or selling for pennies on the dollar.
