Next specialization: neonatology. Started with the sources

We're expanding «Доверенный ИИ» (Trusted AI) into medicine. First specialization: neonatology — an assistant for neonatologists, covering everything from delivery-room resuscitation to follow-up care for preterm infants, that answers with a citation to the exact clause of a clinical guideline or health-ministry order, and refuses honestly when the answer isn't in the documents.

Built the corpus: a Ministry of Health order (№222н) and a dozen official clinical guidelines for the major conditions. Ran a benchmark — 60 questions, eight models, automatic citation checking. Citation accuracy sat around a third of answers until we found a few more source documents — then it nearly doubled. The model was secondary. We were missing documents, not intelligence.

Working through the sources turned up something worth stating plainly. Clinical guidelines in Russia aren't a government document the way a law is. They're written by professional medical associations — RASPM (the Russian Association of Perinatal Medicine Specialists), in this case, which authored or co-authored most of what we used.

So the right move isn't to quietly use someone else's expertise. It's to reach out and offer collaboration: tell them what we built, link back to their material, send them traffic, and figure out together how we can be useful to each other.
