SBG owns the operator bench and Birch Reserve, the automated ad-buying brokerage that makes the portfolio's recovery-economy media inventory commercially useful.
Today, the SBG bench is deployed on Scale Health's build-out and Birch Reserve's launch. Birch Reserve brokers advertising across the recovery-economy media inventory created by brands and activated Scale Health hubs while SBG balances advertiser demand with clinics joining the network.
Advertising revenue brokered by Birch Reserve flows to Scale Health, alongside product commissions, qualified lead generation, and network sales. Scale Health routes digital demand; AlignWellness is the exclusive in-person physiotherapy network and the initial fulfillment nucleus.
The launch is being sequenced from both sides: advertiser and brand demand is curated at the same time clinics join the network. The objective is to avoid building traffic without fulfillment, or fulfillment without monetizable demand.
