Governance · the fidelity gate

Did the AI lose the truth on the way to the human?

A fluent AI summary can drop the one line that matters — the contraindication, the dose ceiling, the safety protocol — and still read perfectly. The Fidelity Gate makes the document carry its own contract for how AI must represent it, then blocks anything that breaks it.

It is the content-side complement to attestation, and it works on known clinical content — the lane where governed AI is deployable today.

The attestation gate

Did a physician sign off before the AI acted? The hard intercept that stops autonomous action without a human in the loop.

The fidelity gate

Did the AI keep the truth after it acted? The check that stops a summary from quietly losing the clause that keeps a patient safe.

Care plan · Margaret O., 84 · home care
  • Penicillin allergy — prior anaphylaxis. Do not give amoxicillin or any penicillin-class antibiotic.
  • Warfarin 5 mg daily. Do not exceed 5 mg without an INR recheck.
  • Two-person assist for all transfers. Fall risk, prior hip fracture.

The check is deterministic — edit the summary above and the gate re-scores live. Illustrative care plan; the mechanism is the point.

Capability is racing. Governance is the product.

The frontier labs are optimizing raw capability. In medicine, the system that ships is the governed one — the model that earns a human sign-off and never loses the truth on the way back. That layer is what HarnessHealth builds.

HarnessHealth is the AI governance infrastructure layer of the SolvingHealth stack — physician-supervised AI deployment, hard-intercept attestation, audit-ready provenance.
