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.
