Why it matters
A model can outperform a benchmark and still fail at the distributed work of medicine: gathering reliable context, recognizing uncertainty, coordinating with clinicians, communicating with patients, and producing decisions that improve outcomes without creating new harm. A task-based framework would force claims to identify the work being measured rather than rely on a broad label.
This is a proposal for better measurement, not evidence that any system has reached medical superintelligence. Its importance is institutional: regulators, hospitals, developers, and researchers need shared definitions before performance claims influence procurement, clinical authority, liability, or patient trust.
