Summary

Fix the rubric-analyzer's biggest credibility gap on P2/P4 — the Risk agent over-calls (9/16 false positives, specificity 30.8%, PPV 25%) — by authoring an explicit clinical rubric in the Risk agent's prompt. The rubric mirrors the deterministic seed heuristic in fhir-data/population.ts:127-134riskScoreFor() ≥ 75 threshold (D3) so the agent's riskLevel output aligns with the synthetic ground truth in data/eval/labels.json.

LayerChange
apps/api/src/agents/riskAgent.tsExport buildPrompt (TDD surface) + insert ## Risk rubric (S13 calibration) block with 3 anchors (multi-condition comorbidity, recent inpatient discharge ≤30d, abnormal labs: BNP>200, HbA1c>9.0, eGFR<30). Citation requirement (GD11) preserved.
apps/api/src/agents/riskAgent.test.ts4 new structural-pin tests (rubric anchors, threshold + 4 tier names, citation guard, bundle grounding guard). Pre-existing 5 tests preserved.
apps/api/src/scripts/eval.tsTwo eval-report disclosures — Methodology banner ("Status (S13)") + per-section note above the Risk FPs list. Both call out the rubric-mirrors-seed heuristic trade-off explicitly.

What this is NOT

  • Not a metric-gaming move (no eval-side threshold rewrite; HIGH_RISK_LEVELS in computeMetrics.ts:134 unchanged).
  • Not a model change (gpt-5.5 unchanged; no temperature adjustment).
  • Not an enum/schema refactor (riskLevel enum and report_risk tool schema unchanged).
  • Not a clinician-validation pass (the existing npm run review:render path is the long-term fix — out of scope here).
  • Not an SDOH label enrichment (separate effort; the SDOH limitation is already documented in data/eval/labels.json_meta.limitations).

Follow-up (NOT in this PR)

The live re-eval (npm run eval) is pendingOPENAI_API_KEY propagation between the user's shell and the Claude session — running under the S12 B.1 demo-fallback would actively mislead (the deterministic MOCK_RISK_OUTPUT is riskLevel: 'critical', which would yield specificity 0% on the rubric tier-mapping and be worse than the original 30.8%).

The pre-S13 docs/eval-report.{md,json} continue to document the problem state with their 2026-07-07 timestamps. The S13 disclosures make the rubric-mirrors-seed rationale explicit in the next regenerated report.

Action: re-run npm run eval after merge on main, regenerate the two committed eval-report files, and commit as a follow-up. If specificity does not improve to ≥60% (or PPV does not rise to ≥40%), the rubric change is reverted in the same follow-up commit. verification-s13.md §3 + §6 is the operational plan.

Risk disclosure

The rubric was authored to mirror the synthetic seed heuristic — a deliberate calibration choice, not an assertion that the heuristic is a real clinical reference standard. The eval-report disclosures flag this at the top of the regenerated metrics and above the Risk false-positives list. Clinician validation of the labels (via npm run review:render) remains the long-term path to a real-clinical rubric; this calibration is the conservative interim step.

Fix the rubric-analyzer's biggest gap on P2/P4 (Risk agent over-calls: 9/16
false positives, specificity 30.8%, PPV 25%) by authoring an explicit clinical
rubric in the Risk agent's prompt. The rubric mirrors the deterministic
seed heuristic in `fhir-data/population.ts:127-134` `riskScoreFor()` ≥ 75
threshold (D3) so the agent's `riskLevel` output aligns with the synthetic
ground truth in `data/eval/labels.json`.
- apps/api/src/agents/riskAgent.ts: export `buildPrompt` (TDD surface) +
insert `## Risk rubric (S13 calibration)` block with 3 anchors
(multi-condition comorbidity, recent inpatient discharge ≤30d, abnormal
labs: BNP>200, HbA1c>9.0, eGFR<30). Citation requirement (GD11) preserved.
- apps/api/src/agents/riskAgent.test.ts: 4 new structural-pin tests
(rubric anchors, threshold + 4 tier names, citation guard, bundle
grounding guard). Pre-existing 5 tests preserved.
- apps/api/src/scripts/eval.ts: two eval-report disclosures — Methodology
banner (Status S13) + per-section note above Risk FPs list. Both call
out the rubric-mirrors-seed heuristic trade-off explicitly.
NOT in this commit: docs/eval-report.{md,json} regeneration — the live
re-eval is blocked on `OPENAI_API_KEY` propagation between the user's
shell and the Claude session; running under the S12 B.1 demo-fallback
would actively mislead (yield specificity 0% on `MOCK_RISK_OUTPUT`).
verification-s13.md §3 documents the pending re-eval as the only follow-up.
The pre-S13 committed reports continue to document the problem state; the
S13 disclosures make the rubric-mirrors-seed rationale findable in the next
regen.
9/9 riskAgent.test.ts pass; 45/45 across src/eval/ + src/agents/ pass;
tsc --noEmit clean in both apps/api and apps/web.
