| name | plan-recruitment-funnel |
| description | Plan recruitment as a costed funnel with a cost per stage, against the per-patient economics, instead of a hope. Reach for this on any enrollment plan. |
Skill: Plan the recruitment funnel
Recruitment is a costed pipeline (~$6,533/patient).
Step 1 — Define the funnel
Screened → screen-failed → enrolled → retained, with conversion at each stage (§3 #5).
Step 2 — Cost each stage
Cost per referral, screen, and enrollment against the ~20–30% budget share (§3 #2).
Step 3 — Size the channels
Plan referral/outreach channels to hit the enrollment target.
Step 4 — Build in retention
Plan retention to avoid ~$19,533 replacements (§3 #3).
Output
A costed recruitment funnel, channel sizing, and a retention plan.
