Applied Project / idea

Design a Minimum Viable Clinical Harness

Specify and test one bounded clinical AI workflow with approved evidence, narrow permissions, deterministic checks, a physician checkpoint, and an audit trail.

The Brief

Build the smallest version that proves the behavior.

Choose one recurring clinical or clinical-adjacent workflow. Define its evidence boundary, permitted tools, verification rules, physician checkpoint, execution limit, and audit record before granting the system any consequential authority.

The finished project should include a SCOPE specification, Harness Card, evidence map, deterministic verification plan, three-error check, physician checkpoint, and five synthetic or properly de-identified test cases.
