On a versioned supplement-safety benchmark of 51 questions (same questions, same week, same independent grader), Scan Dose is tested against the everyday-default and best-named-mode tiers of frontier general-purpose assistants. Public methodology, public calibration set, public per-question grades.
What we measured
Scan Dose's full production pipeline: Sonnet 4.6 + 2,017-chunk RAG over clinically reviewed sources + 200 verified supplement-drug interactions + deterministic SQL routing, vs each tested system in its everyday default mode (default tier) and its highest paid named mode (best-mode tier). Both leaderboards use the same 51-question canonical set. Both runs are graded by an independent Sonnet 4.6 instance applying the same JSON rubric.
This benchmark measures a narrow task family. It does not establish general medical accuracy. Full rubric + caveats at /methodology; FAQ at /benchmark/faq; public methodology repo at github.com/satialaunch/scandose-benchmark.
