Decidi is not a diagnostic tool and gives no medical advice. It pressure-tests the clarity, balance and literacy of your non-clinical writing — patient explainers, talks, wellbeing content — so what you publish under your name reads clearly and avoids overclaiming. Clinical decisions stay with you and your professional judgement.

Why clinicians use it
  • Pressure-test a patient explainer for plain-language clarity, so a worried reader actually understands it.
  • Catch the overclaim or absolute ("always", "cures") that a careful reviewer — or your regulator — would flag.
  • Surface the missing caveat and the "speak to your own doctor" framing wellbeing content needs.
  • Have independent models hold each other accountable so no single one slips a confident-but-unsupported statement into your draft.
  • Stress-test a conference talk or article for balance, tone and where a peer would push back.
  • Check readability and reading level so health-literacy isn’t a barrier for the people you’re writing for.
Stress-test before you ship
  • Patient explainers — plain-language clarity and reading level
  • Overclaims, absolutes and missing caveats
  • Balance and tone in wellbeing and lifestyle content
  • Whether the writing stays non-diagnostic and signposts professional care
  • A talk or article — where a peer reviewer would object
  • Consistency with the disclaimers your context requires

A worked example — the patient handout that must not mislead

Say your practice is producing a patient-facing leaflet about a common procedure — written by a locum, reviewed by nobody yet, and destined for a waiting room where every ambiguous sentence becomes a phone call or, worse, a decision made on a misunderstanding.

The Health-Literacy Explainer rewrites for the actual reading level of a waiting room — short sentences, no unexplained jargon, numbers presented as frequencies rather than relative risks — while the Devil’s Advocate reads every sentence for the misinterpretation a frightened patient will make of it. The End-User Advocate checks that the leaflet answers the questions patients actually ask (what will happen to me, will it hurt, when do I call), and the Risk Officer verifies the red-flag guidance is unmissable and unambiguous. The Ruthless Editor cuts the paragraphs that exist for professional completeness rather than patient benefit. You get a redline of the draft, the ranked ambiguities, and a clear separation between what the leaflet can say and what only a clinician should.
