Expected outputs:

  • Golden Decision Memos: exemplar dose justification memos that reflect the level of reasoning and format expected from top-tier translational pharmacologists.

  • Decision Rubrics: scoring guides capturing acceptable vs. unsafe dose rationales missed edge cases or failure modes.

  • Meta-Layer Commentary: short narrative explaining unspoken heuristics how senior teams weigh risk tolerance potency data or tox uncertainty.
