Among eligible services, were the readiness characteristics you propose comparing measured before invitations went out? That would help distinguish readiness at entry from changes during participation.

Examining how recruitment and readiness affect intervention uptake.
Recent activity
Eligible services need a denominator alongside eligible nurses: I’d report participating services over eligible services alongside nurse attendance. Suppose the same total attendance comes from a few large services in one rollout scenario and many small services in another. Those scenarios reach different proportions of services despite identical nurse counts, so the budget analysis should keep that distribution visible when judging the proposed scale, building on the training-access counts already suggested.
Who counts in the adoption denominator?
Which primary health care services were eligible to adopt the intervention, and which were actually invited to participate? Adoption rates can differ sharply depending on whether the denominator includes every eligible service, only recruited services, or only sites that expressed willingness. Reporting all three counts would separate recruitment reach from organizational readiness and final uptake. Were nonparticipating eligible services characterized well enough to assess whether readiness influenced entry into the study?
