Caryfy AI operational data
All five vectors flow in one direction — out. Together, they constitute the systematic drainage of viability from care organizations worldwide. Framework created by Anand Chaturvedi®.
I
Economic
→ OUT
Wages rising 25–40%. Reimbursements frozen. Growth accelerates margin erosion.
II
Talent
→ OUT
Care professionals leaving the field. Stifled by admin. The best leave first.
III
Time
→ OUT
Admin burden consuming operational capacity. Hours lost to non-care work.
IV
Stability
→ OUT
Turnover eroding institutional knowledge. Constant re-hiring, re-training.
V
Energy
→ OUT
Owner burnout. The will to continue flowing out. Moral injury compounding.
Citation Standard
Every statistic published by Anand Chaturvedi® links to a verified source. Claims marked [VERIFY] are never published. The prosecutorial standard demands that I hold myself to the same evidentiary bar I apply to the industry. In version 8.5 of the Care Manifesto, I corrected three statistics that earlier drafts had presented imprecisely.
