Executive Recommendation

Adopt SGA Growth Hub.

Formal name: SGA Growth Hub. Conversational shorthand: "the Hub." URL stays: app.sga3p.com for now — redirect to a naming-aligned domain (e.g. growthhub.sgadental.com) is available later once leadership decides.

Growth Hub wins the scorecard on every audience-adoption axis. It's instantly understood by office managers, doctors, and executives with zero training; it maps cleanly to the Growth Department; it's short enough to say in conversation ("check the Hub"); and it scales to hold future workstreams without renaming.

Two module renames still required

Marketing Library → Growth Library. The department is Growth, not Marketing — the module label should match.

Content Studio → Brand Builder. "Content Studio" collides with The Studio, SGA's internal creative team, and will cause routine "send that to Studio" ambiguity. Brand Builder aligns with the existing app.sga3p.com/brand module.

Note on prior draft

An earlier version of this review flagged a collision with "SGA Growth Hub" at sga-growth.dev. That was internal shorthand only — no formal product name exists on that site — so it is not a blocker. See slide 3 for how the overlap is resolved.

What We Considered

The "two Hubs" question, resolved.

sga-growth.dev — the Cloudflare-hosted Growth deliverables site — has been referred to internally as "the Hub" in day-to-day conversation. Naming the internal platform "SGA Growth Hub" raised a short-term overlap risk. Leadership has cleared it.

Name / shorthand Product Where it lives Status
SGA Growth Hub Internal Growth Department platform app.sga3p.com Formal product name going forward
"the hub" (informal) Growth deliverables site sga-growth.dev Shorthand retires — refer to as "the Growth Site" or "sga-growth.dev"

Why this closes the question

  • "the hub" was never an official product name — no UI label, no docs, no public surface uses it
  • The Growth deliverables site is used by a smaller audience (Growth team + leadership); shorthand change is contained
  • The internal platform serves a much larger audience (~250 office managers, 260+ practices) — comprehension wins
  • URL-level separation stays clean: sga-growth.dev vs app.sga3p.com

Future URL path (optional)

  • Ship on app.sga3p.com today — no rename needed to launch
  • Later: redirect to a name-aligned domain if desired (growthhub.sgadental.com, hub.sgadental.com, etc.)
  • Cloudflare DNS + a Worker or Pages redirect handles this in an afternoon
  • Not a launch blocker — decide once traffic patterns and IT preferences settle

Naming Scorecard

Nine candidates, four axes.

Scored 1–5 on axes with defined anchors. Higher = better. Collision Safety is inverted so higher = safer. Tiebreaker: adoption by office managers first, since they are the largest and least-technical audience.

Candidate Comprehension Scope Conversational Collision Safety Total
SGA Growth Hub (recommended) 5 4 5 4 18
sga3p 2 5 5 5 17
SGA Growth Platform 4 5 3 5 17
SGA Toolbox 5 3 5 5 18*
SGA Growth OS 3 5 3 5 16
SGA Marketing Hub 5 2 4 3 14
SGA Central 3 5 3 3 14
SGA Connect 2 4 3 4 13
SGA One 1 5 2 5 13

*Toolbox scores highest raw but fails the tiebreaker: it undersells a system becoming the operational source of truth (Tasks API, practice snapshots, brand system). "Toolbox" implies a drawer of utilities; the platform is a home of record.

How it reads in a sentence

"I'll pull it up in the Hub."
"That lives in SGA Growth Hub."
"Check the Waiting on Office view in the Hub."

What it doesn't collide with

The Studio (creative team) · Growth Manager (role) · SGA Central (unbuilt intranet) · Pilot-10 (program). The "the hub" shorthand for sga-growth.dev retires cleanly — see slide 3.

Recommended Module Names

Two renames. Four keep.

Proposed Recommended Purpose Reason for change
Tasks Tasks Requests, projects, assignments, follow-through Keep. Clear and universal.
Marketing Library Growth Library Playbooks, templates, processes, SOPs Department is Growth, not Marketing — consistency.
Practice Profiles Practice Profiles Per-practice source of truth Keep. Exact and expected.
Content Studio Brand Builder Self-serve brand-compliant graphics + content Collides with The Studio (creative team). Brand Builder aligns with existing /brand module.
Reports Reports Marketing, spend, patient acquisition, performance Keep. Office managers expect the word "Reports."
Admin Admin Users, data, integrations, settings Keep.
Naming pattern

Two-word max, noun-based, no cutesy verbs. Every label works in the sentence "Open ___" and in a nav pill.

07 / 11
Audience Test

Explained in one sentence per audience.

Office Manager

"The Growth Hub is where you update your practice info, submit marketing requests, and grab brand-compliant graphics for your office."

Doctor / Practice Leader

"The Growth Hub is the platform SGA's Growth Department uses to run marketing and growth for your practice. Check Reports to see what's driving new patients."

Growth Department Employee

"The Growth Hub is our operating platform — Tasks, Growth Library, Practice Profiles, Brand Builder, and Reports, all in one place. It replaces the scattered docs, sheets, and folders."

Executive

"The Growth Hub is the Growth Department's platform of record — one system covering practice-level work across all 260 offices, with reporting and admin built in."

Adoption principle

When criteria conflict, optimize for adoption by office managers first — they are the largest and least-technical audience. Every explanation above is under 2 sentences and requires no training.

08 / 11
Risks and Open Questions

What to validate before finalizing.

Governance decisions

  • Retire "the hub" shorthand for sga-growth.dev. Substitute "the Growth Site" or just the URL. Give it a couple of weeks of gentle correction and the ambiguity fades.
  • URL decision. Ship on app.sga3p.com — redirect to a name-aligned domain later if desired. Not a launch blocker.
  • Consult The Studio team before "Brand Builder" is finalized — they may prefer a different label or want to own it.

Scope decisions

  • Role-based homepages. Worth piloting post-launch (OMs → task-first; GMs → dashboard-first). Ship one universal home first — adding variants pre-launch delays adoption.
  • Scope confirmation. "Growth Hub" holds if Culture OS and Practice Platform ship under the same umbrella. If they'd ship as separate products, revisit.
  • "Growth" is overloaded. Growth Department, Growth Manager, Growth Library, Growth Hub, sga-growth.dev. This is fine — repetition builds recognition — but pressure-test every new "Growth ___."
Kill criteria for any future name

Reject any name that: (a) collides with an existing SGA team, role, or product; (b) requires more than 6 words to explain; (c) would need to change if Culture OS is folded in; (d) sounds like a company-wide intranet.

09 / 11

Head-to-Head

SGA Growth Hub vs. sga3p.

The scorecard's top two candidates, side by side. Both are strong — the tiebreaker is which audience you optimize for.

Recommended
SGA Growth Hub
Total 18 · Adoption-optimized
Strengths
  • Instantly understood by office managers, doctors, executives — zero training
  • Says exactly what it is: home for the Growth Department
  • Conversational: "check the Hub"
  • Scales to hold Culture OS + Practice Platform if folded in
Trade-offs
  • URL and name don't match today (app.sga3p.com vs "Growth Hub") — resolvable via later redirect
  • Requires retiring "the hub" as shorthand for sga-growth.dev — contained change, small audience
Best if you value
  • Fastest adoption across all 260 practices
  • Zero training burden for non-technical users
  • A name that reads as a home, not a URL
sga3p
Total 17 · URL-aligned
Strengths
  • Matches the URL exactly — name = address
  • Already in use in code, API references, and team chat
  • Unique and abstract enough to hold anything
  • Zero collision risk of any kind, now or future
Trade-offs
  • Doesn't self-explain — "what's sga3p?" needs a sentence every time
  • Weaker with external-facing audiences (partners, doctors, new hires)
  • Feels like a URL rather than a product
Best if you value
  • URL and name being one and the same
  • A name that doesn't need governance decisions elsewhere
  • Continuity with how the engineering team already talks about it
Tiebreaker

Optimize for the largest, least-technical audience — office managers. "The Growth Hub" is understood on first read; "sga3p" needs an explanation. Growth Hub wins the tiebreaker and the recommendation.

Decision Requested

Approve, modify, or reject.

Approve as recommended

SGA Growth Hub formal, the Hub shorthand. URL stays app.sga3p.com for launch; redirect optional later. Rename Content Studio → Brand Builder and Marketing Library → Growth Library. Ship one universal homepage. Ready for build.

Approve with modifications

Flag any module label or copy line to revise. Formal name (SGA Growth Hub) and module renames (Brand Builder, Growth Library) are load-bearing — modifying them re-opens the collision and clarity questions from earlier drafts.

Reject / choose sga3p

See slide 10 for the head-to-head. Choosing sga3p trades adoption speed for URL alignment and zero-collision insurance. State the reason so the next round starts from a stronger anchor.

Bottom Line

The internal Growth Department platform at app.sga3p.com should be branded as SGA Growth Hub. It's the most understandable name for the largest audience — office managers across 260 practices — and it scales to hold whatever the platform grows into. The URL can catch up to the name whenever leadership is ready.
