Short, sourced essays on evidence, verification, and the discipline of keeping medical claims traceable. Every figure is checked against a primary source.
Fabricated citations fail loudly and get caught, because catching them is free. The citation that resolves to a genuine paper and does not contain the finding attached to it survives retrieval, grounding, and most review. What the audits measure, why the published literature has the same failure at 16.9 percent, and six checks that test whether a source carries its sentence.
Read the note →Clinical claims have a shelf life, and almost none of them carry the date they were last checked. Six checks that establish whether a claim is current, superseded, or simply unwatched, traced through the ME/CFS guidance reversal and sourced to NICE, AHRQ, Cochrane, and the trial record.
Read the note →A denial letter is not a verdict. It names the grounds you have to answer. A method for reading each stated reason literally and matching it to the specific evidence that rebuts that reason, with the denial and appeal figures sourced to KFF and federal audits. Feeds the Medical Necessity Evidence Dossier.
Read the note →Testing every model output is unaffordable, and testing by intuition misses what causes harm. A method for spending a finite verification budget where clinical AI errors cost the most, with the failures and figures sourced to primary studies.
