Research and transparency

Research made inspectable.

This hub is the home for model documentation, evaluation protocols, benchmark reports, dataset records when available, and versioned changes. Availability and evidence status are stated separately so a planned artefact cannot be mistaken for a published one.

Internal work Retrospective evaluation Versioned documentation

Current evidence status: the work described here is internal and retrospective. It is not independent replication, prospective clinical validation, evidence of improved patient outcomes, or a substitute for regulatory assessment.

Documentation register

What belongs in the research record.

Each resource receives a clear status, scope and version. Items that are not public are labelled as such rather than represented by placeholder findings.

Model card

Intended use, users, architecture, input and output boundaries, training and evaluation descriptions, limitations, known failure modes, model version and change history.

Evaluation protocols

Research question, cohort rules, endpoints, comparators, grading procedure, statistical analysis, subgroup plan, missing-data handling and deviations from the protocol.

Status: protocol records will be linked here as they are approved for public release.

Benchmark reports

Internal retrospective evaluations should disclose the exact system version, case source and dates, inclusion rules, comparator settings, grading method, uncertainty, limitations and reproducibility materials that can be shared.

Status: current work is internal and retrospective.

Dataset records

If a dataset or benchmark set is released, its record should state provenance, permissions, license, inclusion and exclusion rules, de-identification approach, version and known limitations.

Status: no public dataset is listed on this page.

Research change log

Material changes to a model, protocol, cohort, endpoint, analysis or report should be dated and described, with previous versions retained or clearly marked as superseded.

Status: entries will appear with the resources they govern.

Corrections and limitations

Known errors, post-publication corrections, unresolved questions, negative findings and limits on interpretation belong alongside favourable results, not in a separate marketing narrative.

Status: correction notes will be versioned with affected material.

Interpretation guide

Different evidence answers different questions.

These labels prevent one kind of evaluation from implying a stronger claim than its design supports.

Interpretation of research and validation labels
Label What it can examine What it does not establish by itself
Internal retrospective evaluation Performance on previously assembled cases under a documented test procedure Independent reproducibility, prospective performance or clinical benefit
Independent replication Whether results can be reproduced by investigators outside the development team Safe and effective performance in routine clinical workflow
Prospective validation Performance on cases or data collected after a protocol is set Improved patient outcomes unless outcomes and study design address that claim
Clinical outcomes study Effects on prespecified care, safety or patient outcomes in a defined setting Generalisation to populations, settings or uses outside the study
Minimum disclosure

A benchmark needs more than a headline result.

Before an internal evaluation is suitable for public interpretation, its method and boundaries need to be visible.

System identity

  • Exact model and application version
  • Prompting, retrieval and tool configuration
  • Evaluation date and frozen settings

Evaluation design

  • Prespecified question and endpoints
  • Case provenance and eligibility rules
  • Comparators, grading and analysis method

Interpretive limits

  • Uncertainty and missing data
  • Subgroups, bias and error analysis
  • Generalisability and unresolved risks
Release discipline

From internal work to a citable record.

Publication status should progress only when the corresponding material is actually available.

Define

State the research question, intended claim, protocol, system version and analysis before interpreting results.

Run and audit

Preserve outputs, errors, deviations and exclusions. Separate exploratory analysis from prespecified analysis.

Report

Publish methods, results, uncertainty, limitations and a version identifier together. Clearly label internal authorship and retrospective design.

Invite verification

Provide reproducibility material where permissions allow, distinguish independent work from internal work, and link corrections without erasing the record.

Change log format

Every material change gets context.

Research pages will use a consistent record rather than silently replacing previous claims or methods.

Each entry records

  • Date and version affected
  • Resource, model or protocol changed
  • Plain-language summary and reason
  • Whether results or interpretation changed

Each status distinguishes

  • Draft or internal material
  • Publicly released documentation
  • Corrected or superseded material
  • Independent work linked from this hub
