ADL-P (Activities of Daily Living Processor by ClariPath)

Introduction

The ClariPath platform is officially live, and so is the first tool of its ecosystem. The ADL-P (Activities of Daily Living Processor by ClariPath), backed by ClariLogic. This tool takes the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ entire American Time Use Survey and transforms it into an organized spreadsheet that pulls only the pertinent tables for the demographic data you enter. Additionally, this tool creates a composite averages row which calculates the average across all pertinent tables for each activity or category’s weekly hours.

The result is the ATUS Pertinent Tables and Composite Averages Spreadsheet, delivered to your email in minutes, built to support med-legal, life care planning, and consulting services with precision and transparency.

Understanding ATUS

The American Time Use Survey, ATUS, is an annual federal dataset published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It measures how people in the United States spend their time across major activity categories. Every year, the BLS releases updated annual averages broken out by sex, age, ethnicity, marital status, education, employment, and household structure.

This data has become a reference point for med-legal work, vocational analysis, and population-based planning because it reflects nationwide behavior of the average individual instead of guesses, assumptions, or personal opinion.

Why a Modern ATUS Engine Matters

Professionals who produce med-legal deliverables face a common problem. You need population-grounded numbers, not estimates. ATUS provides the numbers, but the tables are fragmented across many pages, use inconsistent labels, and require manual matching. That leads to errors, expediency, and sometimes flat out inconsistency.

The ADL-P (Activities of Daily Living Processor by ClariPath) solves this through a strict, rule-driven extraction engine and a structured output format. It ensures the values you receive match the official BLS tables for the demographic data you entered.

What the ADL-P (Activities of Daily Living Processor by ClariPath) Does

The processor pulls the current or most recent ATUS tables directly from the BLS site in real time. It then routes the demographic information you entered through the official table structure, matching the correct data points across:

• Sex

• Age

• Race and ethnicity

• Marital status

• Education

• Employment

• Children in household

Every matched, pertinent table contributes to the final spreadsheet. Activity categories are standardized, normalized, and aligned so the output stays clean and consistent.

The final deliverable is an ATUS Pertinent Tables and Composite Averages Spreadsheet. This spreadsheet contains:

• Multiple rows of weekly hours for each and every categorized activity across all pertinent tables.

• A composite average row that averages the weekly hours across all pertinent table values into one methodologically explainable number per each activity.

• Consistent, normalized labeling for every activity.

• A unified layout that presents digestible data.

A Simpler View of the Engine

1. You enter demographic information.

2. The system fetches the official ATUS tables from BLS.

3. It extracts only the information pertinent to your demographics.

4. It converts all time measurements into a consistent weekly hours format.

5. It assembles a spreadsheet with one row per pertinent table and one column per activity with the applicable data reflected across.

6. It creates an additional row and computes the composite average for each activity across all pertinent tables.

7. You receive the spreadsheet by email.

Everything is deterministic. No generated estimates. No invented values. Only federal data matched and arranged at scale.

Why This Matters for Med-Legal Professionals

• You gain a single document of arranged ATUS data pertinent to your use case.

• You avoid manual transcription and copy errors.

• You eliminate inconsistencies across reports.

• You receive a composite row that simplifies interpretation without hiding the underlying tables.

• You replace hours of research and busywork with 3–5 minutes of data interpretation and automation.

This supports life care planners, attorneys, vocational experts, and analysts who need quick, reliable numbers anchored in federal data.

Getting Started

1. Select the demographic data that reflects your scenario on the ADL-P (Activities of Daily Living Processor) on the ClariPath site, found in Tools or on the Home page on desktop.

2. Wait for the engine to parse the ATUS tables and build your spreadsheet. This can take up to 3–5 minutes.

3. Open the email from admin@claripathhq.com containing your ATUS Pertinent Tables and Composite Averages Spreadsheet.

4. Download, file, or integrate the sheet internally wherever your workflow requires.

Internal Use Positioning

The ADL-P (Activities of Daily Living Processor by ClariPath) is an internal workflow tool. You use it to generate organized working files and demographic composites fast. You eliminate manual sorting and reduce preparation time while keeping every value tied to the official BLS ATUS source.

This tool supports preparation, not publication. Do not cite the processor in any final report. Do not quote or reference its output as a primary source. All final deliverables must cite the official BLS ATUS tables directly. Every number in a report must trace back to the government source.

This protects accuracy and keeps the methodology transparent. You save time on data preparation while maintaining strict adherence to the original ATUS studies for all final citations and disclosures.

The Road Ahead

The ADL-P (Activities of Daily Living Processor by ClariPath) is one of the first components in the broader ClariPath system. It reflects the values we build with: accuracy, determinism, transparency, and direct usefulness to med-legal professionals.

Future tools built within the ClariPath family will adhere to the same standards of efficiency, efficacy, and ethics. For now, the ADL-P provides a reliable, defensible way to use ATUS results without the complexity of manual table matching.

Conclusion

The ADL-P (Activities of Daily Living Processor by ClariPath) gives professionals a direct path from federal data to clear, defensible time-use numbers. No manual table hunting. No guesswork. You enter demographics, the system does the matching, and you receive a structured spreadsheet built for real med-legal work. This is the standard ClariPath builds toward, and this release sets the foundation for the tools that follow.
