Precision Intelligence — Foundation Learning Guide¶
For a reader with no background in this area. If you have watched the Foundations film series, this follows directly from it.
The one idea to hold¶
Retrieval-augmented generation: find the relevant evidence first, then reason over it, then cite it. The citation is what makes it checkable.
What this subject does with that idea¶
The evidence layer. You ask a question in plain English and it retrieves what is known, with citations.
It is the difference between a variant list and an interpretation. It connects a letter change to published clinical significance.
Decision support for a qualified clinician — never autonomous diagnosis or prescribing. Every output on this page is intended to inform a clinician's judgement, not replace it.
What it cannot do¶
Retrieval quality is bounded by what has been indexed. An unseeded collection returns nothing — that is a data problem, not a reasoning failure.
Stating the limit is not a disclaimer bolted on the end — it is how you tell a tool that helps from a tool that misleads.
Vocabulary you will meet¶
| Term | Plain meaning |
|---|---|
| Capability | One named thing the platform can do, registered in capabilities.json |
live / planned |
Whether a capability actually answers today, or is intended |
| Decision support | Output that informs a clinician; it never decides |
| LIVE / REPRESENTATIVE / BURST | Whether a demo ran now, was pre-computed, or ran on remote GPUs |
Try it¶
The demo for this subject is E2:
.venv/bin/python scripts/run_demo.py E2
If it reports BLOCKED, the message names exactly what is missing. That is intentional — a demo
that cannot run says so rather than showing you something canned.
