FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What does Synset do?

+

Synset finds measured weaknesses in supported clinical AI models and determines which may be correctable.

Where justified, Synset creates targeted training material and tests an updated model on held-out real data.

What can a customer use today?

+

Readiness assessments, bounded model diagnostics, and synthetic scenario or QA packages are available now.

Model-hardening pilots are open to selected design partners. Regression and local validation are expansion paths.

What is model hardening?

+

Model hardening is a bounded attempt to correct a specific, measured weakness and test whether the change holds up on held-out real data.

Can every model weakness be corrected?

+

No. Some weaknesses need better labels, additional real evidence, a different model or workflow, or a narrower intended use.

A defensible decision not to proceed is a useful result.

What does a first engagement require?

+

A defined model task and intended use, a reproducible inference path, a clear target, and available development data or model outputs.

A hardening pilot also requires a customer-controlled held-out real evaluation set and prespecified success and no-regression criteria.

Who trains the updated model?

+

The customer may train the updated model using a Synset cohort and frozen protocol.

Where agreed, Synset may support a bounded training workflow. Universal autonomous retraining is not available today.

Which models can Synset assess or harden today?

+

Scenario-based text systems can be assessed when responses can be imported or reached through an approved OpenAI-compatible endpoint. This can include clinical assistants, RAG workflows, documentation models, and coding/CDI models.

Structured prediction models are scoped case by case. Hardening requires a reproducible training or adaptation path, a defined target or output contract, and held-out real evaluation data. API-only models without an adaptation path may be assessed but not hardened. Imaging and unsupported modalities remain partner-driven.

How does Synset test whether a change worked?

+

Synset compares frozen original and updated models on held-out real data using prespecified success and no-regression criteria.

The final holdout is not used to select, tune, or choose the intervention.

Does Synset make models FDA-ready?

+

Synset prepares a better-tested model and technical evidence for review. It does not determine submission suitability, approval, or deployment authorization.

Can evaluation stay inside our environment?

+

For supported workflows, evaluation can run inside the customer's controlled environment so raw patient data does not need to leave.

Customer-ready local deployment remains an enterprise design-partner path.

What has Synset validated today?

+

Current evidence supports Synset's clinical-world generation and checking infrastructure and an implemented bounded diagnostic workflow.

Closed-loop model-hardening proof on held-out real data remains the next decisive milestone.

Still have questions?

Synset is opening pilot collaborations with clinical AI teams, researchers, and healthcare organizations around readiness, diagnostics, and bounded hardening.
