Ready Practice — Company Handbook

This is the operating system for the company: how the product works, how the code is built, how we run operations, what we charge, how we grow, how we speak, and what we learn from clinics. One place, written for humans.

Two doc surfaces, one source of truth
  • Handbook (you are here, /handbook) — internal. For the team.
  • Product Docs — customer-facing onboarding for clinicians.

Both are generated from the same repository. The deep engineering docs under Canonical Reference are synced verbatim from docs/claude/ and the repo root — edit the source, not the copy. See How this is maintained.

What Ready Practice is

Ready Practice (internal name Basis) is a production, multi-tenant healthcare operations platform serving hundreds of clinics and tens of thousands of patients. It gives a clinic everything to run: scheduling, memberships, client management, labs, insurance/RCM billing, payments, a white-label mobile app + client web portal, and Atlas — the AI copilot, clinical assistant, consumer Health Assistant, and autonomous COO/operator.

Honesty policy for this handbook

Every section states what is real and sourced and flags what is a gap (⚠️). We do not paper over missing content with plausible-sounding filler — a fabricated page reads as "done" when it isn't, and that is how fake features are born. If a section is thin, it says so and links the work that would fill it.
