The comparison grid we would build for a client. Best score in each row is underlined — but read the category first, because comparing a companion vendor to a full-service clinic will mislead you.

| Assessment | |
| Best for | Large employers with demographically diverse populations where brand trust materially drives enrollment. |
| Watch out | Verify that the clinical arm and workshop arm actually share data. In practice these have often run as separate systems. |
| Verdict | Buy it for reach into populations other vendors cannot touch, and for the maintenance off-ramp. Do not buy it expecting cost control or analytics depth. |
