Chapter 1
Millions of families coordinate care without a purpose-built home
Paper charts, group chats, and spreadsheets. Missed doses, broken handovers, and care teams that never see the full picture.
Hospital EMRs serve institutions — not the informal circle of adult children, partners, and neighbours.
Three carers gave medicines today; none share a record the others trust.
Clinical software is expensive, requires training, and ignores how families actually work.

Chapter 2
One warm, privacy-first workspace priced for families
Multi-tenant SaaS with complete data isolation — subscription-based, module-gated, deliberately outside the regulated provider space.
Annual tiers from $39/yr USD — affordable for families, not institutional buyers.
PHI stays in single-region PostgreSQL; full audit trail and row-level security.
Calm Care design language — warm, reassuring, built for stress and mobile use.

Chapter 3
The care model removes the blank canvas
Seven archetypes describe how families coordinate. Care Profiles seed content. Care Start applies it in one transaction. Care Module boards add condition-specific capture.
Research across 50 palliative scenarios → seven coordination patterns, not hundreds of diagnoses.
Twelve Care Profiles with reason types, observations, and shift tasks — editable, not prescriptive.
Care Module Phase A live for cancer and breathing (preview); full function points in spec.

Subscription ladder + Care Profile packs
Annual billing only. Stripe Checkout with seven currencies. Care Profiles layer condition-specific value on top — paid checkout held until interactive boards ship.
Self-serve upgrade with prorated difference; downgrade at renewal preserves access until anniversary.
+$5/yr per extra care recipient across all tiers.
Care Profile value definition gates production pack sales — seed-only is not defensible at $14.99.

Product today — family decisions, clinical depth underneath
Care Module optimises for decisions ("okay / watch / call"). Every tap writes structured events practitioners can trend.
React 19 + FastAPI + PostgreSQL 16 — private beta at app.lyncareos.com since May 2026.
Prescription OCR via LM Studio; medication schedule as pill-organiser metaphor.
Care Pathways (Planning Ahead) spec complete — implementation D31 on roadmap.
Chapter 6
Differentiation that compounds
Family-first positioning, palliative-native content model, and plugin architecture for condition-specific boards — not a generic care tracker.
Seven archetypes grounded in 50 real palliative scenarios — coordination patterns, not ICD codes.
Care Module plugin architecture: one shell, pluggable capture widgets, shared zone engine.
Global pricing programme specified (13+ languages planned); English live today.
