Get started →Tooling, complexity, and claimed accuracy rise through Parts 1–3, then the series deliberately turns back toward usability in Part 4 — because a framework only teaches you something if you actually open it. Part 5 steps outside the argument entirely to show how it was built.
Introduces the dual-mode architecture — Promption (scaffolding messy narrative into structure) and Provocation (stress-testing the resulting hypothesis) — and walks a single DKA/pneumonia case through both modes end to end, surfacing an HbA1c discrepancy a single-pass answer would likely have missed.
Adds three structured layers on top of Part 1's cognitive modes — a chronic kidney disease knowledge graph, an acute pancreatitis institutional pathway, and appraised evidence — and examines what each one fixes, what new risk each one introduces, and why disagreement between layers is a signal worth surfacing rather than smoothing over.
Asks which layer deserves the most weight, for which case: a three-tier rarity framework crossed against an EBM task-complexity axis, a verification burden that rises with both, and an honest accounting of what remains a proof of concept versus what would need a matched case series to validate — plus a category of uncertainty, input curation, that no layer can ever reach.
Rather than adding a fourth ground-truth layer, this piece asks what the smallest usable version of the whole stack looks like — a ten-minute weekly loop, a one-line ledger instead of a formal study, and a simple gut-check for when it's actually worth reaching for the graph, the pathway, or the evidence layer described in Parts 2 and 3.
A different kind of part. Parts 1–4 argued a framework; this one is the process that produced it — one Socratic prompt, a pedagogical layer built from four meta-skills, a widening module library, a knowledge-graph detour that didn't clearly outperform the simpler approach, and the editing discipline that turned the write-up itself into something worth keeping.
