LlamaIndex MCED Diagnostic Utility RAG with GPT-5 Pro

Multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests produce complex biomarker reports requiring precise patient-facing context and clinical guidelines. Implement an agentic RAG system using LlamaIndex and GPT-5 Pro to map MCED blood signals to evidence-based diagnostic pathways. Achieve zero hallucinated clinical recommendations on test cases.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates the factual fidelity and clinical precision of RAG generated diagnostic follow-up recommendations.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

zero_hallucinated_citations

Verifies that all returned citations match indexed source guidelines.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

guideline_compliance

Percentage of correct clinical diagnostic steps suggested. • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check
