One-page planner: the four-stage scribe pipeline (capture/transcribe/structure/sign), the draft-never-file rule with its liability/regulatory/accuracy consequences, the vendor landscape (Freed, Heidi, Suki, Abridge, Dragon Copilot), the embed-vs-assemble-vs-build split with per-visit cost math ($7.50 human vs ~$0.25 AI), and a compliance-gate checklist (consent, cross-state rule, HIPAA BAA, no-training, clinician sign-off).
