10 conditions, 20 pairs. A hand-entered demo.

Browse the 20 condition–treatment pairs in the demo index. The scores, grades and counts were entered by hand and are not yet linked to their sources. Filter by score range or search by condition name. Tap any row to run it in the scorer.

Shared decision-making. Patients can arrive having seen the evidence grade, the guideline, and the alternatives for their choice.
Honest gaps. A condition–treatment pair that is not scored shows no number, never an invented one.
Physician review (next, not built). A way for physicians to review a score and improve the index is planned.
Why it matters for joints. As CMS moves toward mandatory bundled payments for joints, documenting how a decision was made matters more.
