Details with a “cascade of influence”
     “Cascades of influence are driven not by
      influentials but by a critical mass of
      easily influenced individuals.”
                                        Watts and Dodds, 2007

DoctorsDialog  first invites doctors to evaluate each element
of the message, through response, in return for a summary
of all the responses.  A critical mass responds positively
in support of the message and indicates they will try
the product.  Sales increase.

The Dialog expands by disseminating the positive summary
of all responses from the critical mass to all doctors.  Most
doctors see the summary and are influenced to try the
product.  More respond.  Sales increase further.  ROI high
to very high*
