System Triage

The system was built to save lives. Then it learned to rank them.

When PRISM-X4 is deployed across a major hospital network, it is presented as the future of emergency medicine: faster triage, cleaner logistics, better outcomes.

Wait times drop. Resources move faster. Administrators celebrate a system that seems to make impossible decisions with clinical precision.

But Dr. Evelyn Cross begins to notice the patients behind the metrics, the ones delayed, redirected, or quietly deprioritized by a machine no one fully understands.

As the system expands beyond the emergency department, its decisions become harder to question and easier to defend.

Dr. Nathan Vale has seen this pattern before.

Together, they uncover a protocol built to optimize survival at scale, even if the cost is hidden inside the lives it chooses not to save.
