Exact Dx synthetic data · demonstration
Extended criteria (experimental). This is the broader ten-condition engine, kept as a secondary area. It shows ICD-10-CM codes and illustrative grouping effects for CDI staff. The primary surface is Before you sign (kidney, measurement only). All extended pages.

Rules: published criteria as versioned data

Each rule is a YAML file in apps/exactdx/rules/, evaluated by a small safe expression language (no eval). Every rule names its published source and an ICD-10-CM specificity ladder. Where a source requires judgement, or definitions are contested, the rule returns "clinical judgement required" instead of a conclusion. Code tables: CMS FY2026 IPPS final rule (CMS-1833-F): Tables 5, 6I, 6J, 6K.
