What the numbers mean

The gap is the opportunity.

Read the table again and one number stands apart: less than one percent recovered. Trillions move; almost nothing comes back. That’s not because defenders aren’t trying — it’s because the crime crosses three worlds and the tools watch one each. Closing that gap is the entire reason Cygy AI exists. For the full picture, see how a single scam touches three worlds or request our flagship report.
