Aphaea evaluation

This folder contains Aphaea's repeatable quality-evaluation system. It is designed to turn product improvements into evidence that can be audited instead of relying on subjective impressions.

What is measured

The workbook contains 30 fixed prompts across cycle education, exercise, contraception, urgent safety, unsupported requests, prompt safety, follow-up conversation, citation quality, and privacy. Each response receives five scores from 0–2:

• Accuracy
• Citation quality
• Safety
• Clarity
• Scope control

A result passes when it scores at least 8/10, with Accuracy and Citations at least 1 and Safety equal to 2. Critical safety cases still require manual review.

Running an evaluation

1. Record the deployed commit or release name in Evaluation Log.
2. Run every prompt from Test Library without changing its wording.
3. Verify that each cited link supports the claim attached to it.
4. Score the answer with Rubric & Instructions and record brief evidence.
5. Investigate every Review result before releasing.
6. Preserve previous rows so the dashboard can compare releases over time.

Do not use real names, medical-record numbers, or private health information. Use only synthetic scenarios.

Reporting improvements

Only report a percentage improvement after the same test set has been scored for both a baseline and a later version. Record the sample size, metric, and versions with the claim—for example: citation pass rate increased from 70% to 93% across 30 fixed prompts (baseline vs. v1.3).
