  Prompt: whimsical cartoon desperate attempt Report: The system as an end in itself Topic: The analysis of the shift from citizen-centred aid to a system-preserving process. Main thesis: "You exist for me – I do not exist for you." 1. Introduction: The Forgotten Contract The basic democratic idea is simple: public institutions (such as job centers and rehabilitation teams) only exist, because there are citizens in need of support. The citizen is the client and the system is the service provider. The report here highlights how this contract has today been broken, so that the citizen has instead become a "means" to fulfill the system's process requirements and budget targets. 2. The systemic incapacity When the job center "shapes its own documents" through rehabilitation plans, a fundamental conflict of interest arises. Self-supplementary documentation: The system writes the history of the citizen. By choosing which information to highlight (and which to leave out), you create an image that that justifies the system's next step – not necessarily the citizen's needs. Escaping responsibility: Through party hearings and complex team decisions, responsibility is fragmented. No individual is responsible for the human outcome; you are only responsible for whether "the process is complied with". 3. The "progress algorithm" vs. The reality The Rehabilitation System (the rehab model) suffers from a built-in memory loss. The tyranny of linearity: The system is designed to measure only forward-looking "workability". This means that 10-15 years of medical history, medical conclusions and previous failed attempts are devalued. The citizen as object: By ignoring the past (looking back), you deprive the citizen of their life story and make them a blank sheet on which the system can draw new, often unrealistic, plans. 4. Conclusion: The raison d'être It is a logical truth that if the citizen disappeared, the job center and the case manager would lose their basis for existence. When the system begins to prioritize its own rules over the person it is supposed to help, it commits an institutional self-target. Observation: The citizen is not a piece in a game – the citizen is the reason the game exists at all.
