RISED: A Pre-Deployment Safety Evaluation Framework for Clinical AI Decision-Support Systems

Rohith Reddy Bellibatlu

Aggregate accuracy metrics dominate the evaluation of clinical AI decision-support systems but do not detect deployment-phase failures of input reliability, subgroup equity, threshold sensitivity, or operational feasibility. We propose the RISED Framework: a five-dimension pre-deployment evaluation covering Reliability, Inclusivity, Sensitivity, Equity, and Deployability, in which each dimension is operationalized through formal sub-criteria, pre-specified pass/fail thresholds, and bias-corrected accelerated (BCa) bootstrap 95% confidence intervals combined under a Holm-Bonferroni family-wise error correction. A central demonstration is that a classifier satisfying conventional high-discrimination benchmarks can simultaneously fail input-encoding stability and threshold-shift sensitivity checks, while subgroup AUC parity remains statistically inconclusive, pointing to deployment risks that aggregate evaluation alone cannot detect. We validate this differential pass/fail pattern on a synthetic cohort and three publicly available real-world cohorts spanning 35 years of clinical data vintage, from a 1980s cardiology dataset to a 2024 nationally representative health survey, where failing dimensions differ across cohorts, providing preliminary evidence of construct validity. The Equity dimension is reframed as a proxy-dependence diagnostic rather than a stand-alone gate: any need-based fairness verdict computed against a utilization-derived proxy carries a construct-validity problem the framework surfaces explicitly, triggering a procurement requirement for an outcome-independent need measure before the gate is binding. RISED is released as an open-source Python package that supplies the quantitative verdicts existing clinical AI reporting standards require, providing a principled gateway between in-silico model validation and silent-trial clinical evaluation.

JudgeSense: A Benchmark for Prompt Sensitivity in LLM-as-a-Judge Systems

Rohith Reddy Bellibatlu

Large language models are increasingly deployed as automated judges for evaluating other models, yet the stability of their verdicts under semantically equivalent prompt paraphrases remains unmeasured. We introduce JudgeSense, a framework and benchmark for quantifying this property via the Judge Sensitivity Score (JSS), defined as the fraction of paraphrase pairs on which a judge returns an identical decision. Evaluating nine judge models on 494 validated paraphrase pairs, we find that coherence is the only task where judges meaningfully differ, with JSS ranging from 0.389 to 0.992. On factuality, all judges cluster near JSS about 0.63, driven by a polarity-inverted prompt artifact; after correction, factuality JSS rises to about 0.9. Pairwise tasks (preference and relevance) exhibit degenerate always-A behavior in 8 of 9 judges, indicating strong position bias. Model scale does not predict consistency. We release code, decision logs, and a validated paraphrase dataset to support standardized JSS reporting.
