Colorado — the independent landscape, scored unprompted.

You didn't ask for this — we ran it anyway. A capability demonstration, not a recommendation: the independent, physician-owned landscape in one market, scored the same way we'd score any market you're weighing. You decide if it's worth a deeper run.

The independent vs. system filter

We screened out who you'd want screened out.

Before ranking, we removed the system- and competitor-owned groups — Banner, Optum, UCHealth, CommonSpirit/Catholic Health, Parkview and the FQHC networks — because those carry the opaque ownership and money-flow challenges that make a partnership hard. What's left below is independent and physician-owned. That independent-vs-system distinction — the one that decides whether a partnership is clean or complicated — is applied automatically, from public data.

How to read it: the 9-factor score now blends all of Nolan's inputs — MA market penetration, growth, payer dynamics and benchmark, plus group panel, PCPs, RAF, revenue and MedEx — percentile-ranked across 12,700+ groups nationally. The Rx-implied RAF is a prescribing-based signal, not confirmed coding. Good geographic spread: Grand Junction, Pueblo, Durango, the Front Range. Final independence on any single group is confirmed name-by-name before outreach.
What this is — and isn't
A first-pass, public-data cut — offered to show the engine can map and rank any market on its own, not just the ones you name. No PHI. No claim that Colorado is the right call — that's yours to make. If it's interesting, the same run sharpens into a full market dossier, like the Columbus one, in a day.
