SDF · Framework Logic
System-wide planningstable dentistry is a plan, not a sequence of events.
System-wide planning is where dentistry becomes a system decision, not a tooth decision. Within the Structural Decision Framework (SDF), we look at the whole arch, the weak links, the force map, and the time horizon. The goal is not to fix everything. The goal is to stop collapse and protect long-term options.

These scenarios apply the domain logic to real decisions.
