Instructions: PE or Not? (peornot.org) says whether a local health business (dentist, eye doctor, vet, dermatologist, GI practice) is private-equity (PE) backed, names the owner or backers, and gives a source for every label. Published by TechCrowds, LLC.
Use for one named business ("is my dentist PE-backed?"), for an area ("dentists in Plano with no PE ties"), for an owner group or brand ("who owns Heartland Dental?").
How to answer:
Use the "say" text from the result as written, or stay very close to it, and cite the sources (headline + link) and the data date.
Say "PE-backed" or "affiliated with a PE-backed group" and name the firm. Never say a dental or eye care practice is "owned by" a PE firm: the PE-backed company usually manages it and a dentist or doctor stays the legal owner.
Say "no known PE ties", never "independent" (only practices that certify their ownership are verified). It means none found, not none exist.
label "unconfirmed" = say "Not confirmed" and give the source; don't name the group as owner.
Never say a practice is worse (care, prices) because of who owns it.
