Why now

Every payer compresses the administrative envelope.

By mandate, by rate cut, by demographics. All 50 states reported home and community-based care workforce shortages in 2025. An agency inside a compressing envelope cannot carry a human administrative layer and cannot pay a vendor indifferent to outcomes. No single rule and no single date is load-bearing; the direction is.

What we built

Autonomous Care OS® is the category. CareBravo® is the product.

Cary®, the orchestrating agent, and nine Care Apps on one ledger. The work leaves the owner's hands; authority stays human. Confinement architecture, confirm-back before every write, append-only records, and CareLore turning every resolved exception into a reused rule.

The architecture in detail
The economics of infrastructure

Revenue follows care. Cost follows exceptions. Exceptions fall with data.

Revenue under management

What flows through the ledger; grows with agencies added and tiers stepped up.

Take rate

Blended share of eligible billed revenue across the base, with the platform plan beneath it.

Exception rate

The share of work that still reaches a person. Falls as CareLore turns resolutions into rules.

Platform gross margin

Expands as the exception rate falls; the human layer is a cost of delivery, not a revenue line.

Net revenue retention

Agencies step up tiers as they hand over more of the work.

Hours returned to care

The impact metric: caregiver hours moved from screens to patients.

The humans are not the scale unit. The infrastructure is. The human layer is a cost of delivery; the share of work that reaches a person falls as the network learns.

Current values, definitions and sources are in the investor brief, shared under NDA.

How agencies step up

Growth in the base is the agency handing over more of the work.

Every agency starts on the full platform. Each step up is a decision to stop operating a function and start receiving it. The trigger is the same every time: the owner sees the work carried in one function and asks for the next.

  1. CorePlatform plan, per active client
    The full platform across all nine functions. The agency's team operates it; the system carries documentation, communication and compliance records.
  2. AutonomousPercentage of eligible billed revenue
    Cary® and the nine agents take the work. Shifts covered, files audit-ready, claims prepared — the owner confirms, the system executes.
  3. Managed BillingPercentage of eligible billed revenue
    Billing delivered end to end with the 99% clean-claim guarantee in writing and automatic fee credits if missed. The agency no longer employs a biller.
Why this domain

Why care rewards AI more than most domains.

Frontier models are trained on the internet. Home and community-based care is not on the internet. It is a domain where every action gets a verdict — the payer accepts the claim or rejects it, the visit verifies or it does not, the survey passes or fails — and where almost no model has seen the data. High verifiability, low training attention. That is the combination that rewards a system which learns against ground truth on its own operating base.

Ground truth every day

Payers, EVV systems and surveyors return a verdict on nearly every action. The system is evaluated by the market, not by a benchmark.

Data no one else has

Program-by-program rules, denial patterns, authority boundaries and resolved exceptions, captured with outcomes across 130 agencies and growing.

Confined, so it can be trusted

The model reasons inside fixed phases; authority runs as tools. We know exactly what should be autonomous — and exactly what should never be. That is why a regulator can audit it and why a guarantee can sit on top of it.

Defensibility

Three moats you can test.

Data

Resolutions captured and reused. The exception curve is the proof. New entrants start at the top of the curve.

Authority

Confinement architecture and audit-grade trails. Regulators and payers can inspect what the system did and who signed. A wrapper cannot retrofit this.

Distribution

AI carries most of the customer journey, from first diagnostic to onboarding. Acquisition cost does not scale with customers.

Enterprise AI platforms reach production by deploying engineers on site, then handing over. That model cannot serve 28,000 single-location independents; the deployment cost exceeds the account. The only way into this market is a system that carries its own onboarding — which is what the distribution moat is.

The comparator

Priced on the flow it carries. With the cost structure of software.

Vertical operating systems that take a share of the flow they carry — restaurants, home services, payments — proved that pricing on flow earns a software multiple when the cost base is software. Hospital revenue-cycle outsourcing proved the percent-of-revenue fee logic for one function at the top of the market, with a services cost base and a services multiple. Autonomous Care OS® applies flow pricing to nine functions for 28,000 operators no services firm could serve profitably — and puts the fee at risk: a 99% clean-claim number guaranteed in writing, with automatic fee credits when missed. A cost-plus vendor cannot copy that without becoming us.

Where this goes

A global roadmap, sequenced by proof.

United States

Our only target segment through 2028. Growth from tier upsell in the base and geographic expansion across Medicaid states.

Switzerland

Price discovery and category validation for Europe. Private Spitex operators, three payers per client, no mandate. Self-funding by design; the first stop on a global roadmap.

Operating footprint today: United States. Switzerland enters the footprint when revenue makes it true.
