A good week can hang on one thread.

Many older adults keep a full life because one person quietly makes it possible: the daughter who drives, the neighbour who walks with them. TIEFORGE finds that thread before it breaks, shows what would be lost, and helps people prepare a realistic backup, with the person in charge of every decision.

How it works, in three moves

1

See the week

The person says what matters to them. TIEFORGE notes who or what makes each outing possible, and finds the outings that hang on one helper.

2

Test what if

Switch one helper off and watch what is lost: outings, and the people they keep in touch with. No prediction, just a stress test.

3

Prepare a backup

Suggest realistic options, check them (routes, timing, whether anyone has actually agreed), then follow up. Unchecked ideas are never presented as solutions.

Meet the people

Each story is a different kind of fragile week. Pick one and follow it step by step.

Aune, 78

Widowed, lives on her own, and loves her Wednesday group.
Shows: One helper holds up most of a good week. What if she disappears?

Honest by design. Every person here is invented, and the numbers are computed by our research model from invented inputs. This is a working proof of concept, not a tested intervention: no older adult has used it yet.
