Hi jph! Not intending to subvert the thread, but I'd love to chat to someone like you. The non-profit I work at has been working on democratizing evals. This wouldn't be to ensure your in-house AI is up to scratch (parachute looks ideal!), but on ensuring the general landscape of models is up-to-date on best practice, e.g. NICE and other guidance, so that everyday model users aren't misled. Such a demo eval is here: https://weval.org/analysis/uk-clinical-scenarios/08278696ca2...

We're looking for domain experts especially in high risk domains like healthcare, education, therapy. Then we'd work together co-authoring an eval in your specialism to expose and motivate AI labs to do better.

Just to say - I was impressed chatting to someone in and around NHS Wales software a few years ago when I was leading the development side of a health app. I seem to remember there were some good plans in place to join up patient health records across the Welsh trusts, which sounded very sensible.
Thanks! Would love to see how we can help!
