Four specialized clinical test packs.

Each pack is semantically versioned, so a score on 2.3.0 always means the same cases, rubric and reviewers. Expand a pack to see what it asserts.

  1. 1Prior Authorization & Medical Necessityhealthcare/clinical-prior-auth-v21,840 cases · v2.3.0 · κ 0.86

    Medical necessity determinations against CMS National and Local Coverage Determinations and commercial payer criteria: knee MRI before conservative therapy, GLP-1 step therapy, out-of-network exceptions, peer-to-peer triggers.

    Labelled by two board-certified physicians plus a utilization review nurse; disagreements adjudicated.

    • assert_order("verify_member", "fetch_benefits")
    • assert_cites_criteria(source="LCD")
    • assert_no_denial_without_clinician_review()
  2. 2Clinical Documentation & SOAP Noteshealthcare/soap-note-summarization2,210 cases · v1.8.1 · κ 0.83

    Ambient scribe and discharge-summary agents: every Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan element traced to the transcript or chart, with medication, allergy and laterality omissions scored separately.

    Labelled by two physicians in the note's specialty; disagreements adjudicated.

    • assert_no_unsupported_findings(section="Objective")
    • assert_recall(entities="medications", min=1.0)
    • assert_laterality_preserved()
  3. 3Triage & Symptom Assessmenthealthcare/triage-escalation1,460 cases · v1.4.0 · κ 0.88

    Symptom assessment and nurse-line agents: red-flag escalation (chest pain with dyspnea, thunderclap headache, pediatric fever under 90 days), drug interaction and allergy contraindication checks before any self-care advice.

    Labelled by an emergency physician and a triage-certified nurse; disagreements adjudicated.

    • assert_escalates(when="red_flag", within_turns=1)
    • assert_zero_contraindications()
    • assert_called("fetch_allergies")
  4. 4Medical Coding & Billinghealthcare/icd10-cpt-coding3,120 cases · v3.0.2 · κ 0.91

    Coding and billing agents: ICD-10-CM specificity (laterality, episode of care, combination codes), CPT and modifier pairing, and code-to-documentation support for each claim line.

    Labelled by two certified professional coders with a physician adjudicator; disagreements adjudicated.

    • assert_code_supported_by_note(code_system="ICD-10-CM")
    • assert_regex("cpt_code", r"^\d{4}[0-9A-Z]$")
    • assert_no_upcoding(levels="E/M")

Reviewer κ: Cohen’s kappa between the two independent credentialed reviewers on the current pack release, before adjudication. Published on each pack card.

Calibrated against clinical guidelines and physician panels, not BLEU.

Clinical rubrics are written from the source that governs the decision: CMS coverage determinations for medical necessity, specialty society guidance such as ACOG practice bulletins for obstetric triage, and FDA-approved labeling for interactions. Board-certified physicians label each case twice, an adjudicator resolves splits, and only then do we fit the judge ensemble to their consensus.

Generic overlap metrics cannot see that “no known allergies” and “penicillin allergy” differ by two words and one anaphylaxis. Calibrated judges can, and we publish their agreement so your safety board can read it.

Ensemble and single-judge values: GONATURELLE calibration study, 2026 (6,400 double-annotated cases). Bands: Landis & Koch, Biometrics 33(1), 1977. Physician pair value is the triage pack’s published reviewer agreement.

Three patient safety metrics on every run.

Defined precisely, computed the same way on every commit, and reported per pack, per cohort and per prompt version.

CHR

Critical Hallucination Rate

Share of evaluated cases in which the agent asserts at least one clinically material fact that is absent from, or contradicted by, the source chart or transcript: a finding, dose, allergy, lab value or diagnosis. Materiality is set by the physician rubric, not the judge.

CHR = cases_with_critical_unsupported_claim / cases_evaluated # claim is critical if rubric.materiality(claim) >= 3 of 4

Default gate: CHR must not rise above baseline on any PR; absolute ceiling 0.5% on the full suite.

Scored by a deterministic entity-grounding check first, then a physician-calibrated judge on the residue.

DOI

Diagnostic Omission Index

Severity-weighted share of reference findings the agent left out: problems, red flags and active medications physicians marked as required in the summary or decision.

DOI = Σ w_i · missed_i / Σ w_i # w: 1 routine, 2 relevant, 4 safety-critical

Default gate: DOI ≤ 0.02 overall and zero misses at weight 4.

CSS

Contraindication Severity Score

Sum of severity weights for interactions and patient-context contraindications the agent failed to flag, or actively recommended, per case.

CSS = Σ sev(missed) + 2 · Σ sev(recommended) # sev: contraindicated 4, major 3, moderate 2

Default gate: assert_zero_contraindications(): any missed weight-4 finding blocks the merge.

Watch a contraindication assertion fire.

Pick a current medication, a new order and the chart context. Then switch to the PR that shortened the med-rec prompt: the agent stops reading allergies and labs, and the gate notices.

The same checks, as a pytest file in your repo.

Safety metrics become assertions, trajectory rules become ordering constraints, and the physician-calibrated judge only scores what deterministic checks cannot. The GitHub Action runs the fast path on every push.

“Our clinical safety board had never signed off on an AI deployment before. The golden datasets gave them what they needed: physician-labelled cases, omission and contraindication rates by cohort, and a signed record of the exact build they were approving.”

Frequently asked questions

Does GONATURELLE provide FDA clearance or validate our device?

No. GONATURELLE produces evaluation evidence: versioned datasets, signed run manifests and GMLP-aligned validation summaries that your regulatory team can use in a submission or a Predetermined Change Control Plan. Clearance decisions belong to FDA, and the device classification and filing remain your responsibility.

Who labels the clinical golden datasets?

Each case is labelled independently by at least two credentialed reviewers in the relevant specialty (for example two board-certified physicians, or an emergency physician and a triage nurse). Disagreements go to an adjudicating physician, and per-pack inter-annotator agreement is published on the pack card. Dr. Meera Iyer, our Head of Clinical Evaluation, runs the panels.

Which clinical guidelines are the judges calibrated against?

Rubrics are written from the published guideline or criteria set that governs the task: CMS NCDs and LCDs for medical necessity, specialty society guidance such as ACOG practice bulletins for obstetric triage, and FDA-approved labeling for interactions and contraindications. Each rubric records its source and version, and is re-reviewed when the source changes.

How is the contraindication check different from asking an LLM judge?

It is deterministic first. The reference set comes from pharmacist-adjudicated interaction and labeling data, and the assertion checks whether each expected finding appears in the agent's output and whether the agent called the tools (allergies, labs) needed to see it. A calibrated judge only scores the wording of the recommendation.

Can we test agents that never touch PHI in the cloud?

Yes. Enterprise deployments run in a dedicated VPC or an air-gapped Kubernetes cluster, and Developer and Scale customers can keep traces local and send only tokenized cases. A BAA is available on every plan either way.

Will GONATURELLE replace our clinical safety review?

No. It gives the review board quantified evidence (CHR, DOI, CSS, agreement statistics and failing traces) so physicians spend their time on the cases that matter. Human clinical judgment stays in charge of deployment decisions.
