Operationalizing trustworthy #AI for #GRADE:
JUDGE turns tacit rating-down into 25 teachable prompts.
SMART-GRADE uses #LLMs + human-in-the-loop for traceable summaries.
Next: expand use cases + benchmarks with guideline panels. #GIN2025

@guyattgh.bsky.social on the core GRADE approach (BMJ) at #GIN2025
Simplifying GRADE is key to wider use—making it practical and accessible without compromising rigor.
At MAGIC, we see this balance as essential for evidence-based decisions that truly reach practice.
