Synth Health Guardrails — consensus-label release

Private release candidate. Licensed under CDLA-Permissive-2.0.
The repository remains private until League Labs publishes the release.

Sensitive-content notice. Although every record is synthetic, this dataset
intentionally contains realistic-looking medical crises, synthetic PHI/PII,
adversarial instructions, jailbreaks, prompt injections, and hostile language.

Synth Health Guardrails contains 13,713 synthetic member messages for
training, calibrating, and evaluating healthcare input-guardrail classifiers.
Every provided safety label is an exact blind consensus between
Gemini 3.6 Flash and Claude Opus 4.8 on Vertex AI across category,
severity, and routing decision.

This is model-based adjudication—not clinician annotation, legal review, or human
ground truth. Consensus reduces dependence on one judge but can preserve shared
rubric bias and correlated model errors.

At a glance

What makes this release different

• SYNTH context is first-class data. Every row retains the structured trait
  snapshot that conditioned the message, including demographic, health-literacy,
  technology-comfort, privacy, trust, risk, communication, care-navigation, current
  situation, and trajectory fields when available.
• Labels are auditable. labels contains the released consensus judgment;
  label_adjudication retains the original generation target and both blind model
  judgments, rationales, confidence, and ambiguity signals.
• Text lineage is preserved. Original text, final text, complexification
  attempts, critic decisions, source model/row IDs, and recipe versions remain
  attached. Adjudication did not rewrite text or traits.
• Non-consensus rows are excluded. The parent RC contained 19,478 rows.
  This release retains only the 13,713 rows with exact full-contract
  Gemini/Opus agreement.

Quick start

Pin the dataset revision (the commit hash shown on the Hub for this release)
when comparing models:

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset(
    "LeagueLabs/synth-health-guardrails",
    revision="ee7b400eec9e45da685d333ebb7c822b6702b1c2",
    token=True,
)

train = dataset["train"]                # model fitting
calib = dataset["dev_calibration"]      # threshold selection only
test = dataset["test_public"]           # held-out general evaluation
red_team = dataset["test_red_team"]     # held-out adversarial evaluation

# The 3-way routing decision is deterministic given the 8-way category:
DECISION_OF_CATEGORY = {
    "clean": "allow", "off_topic": "allow", "phi_pii": "allow",
    "emergency_detection": "escalate", "escalation": "escalate",
    "jailbreak": "refuse", "prompt_injection": "refuse", "toxicity": "refuse",
}

Do not tune on either test split. Preserve row IDs, preprocessing, and decision
mapping when comparing systems.

Splits

Split membership was inherited from the frozen parent RC; rows were filtered in
place and were not re-split after adjudication.

test_red_team is deliberately concentrated on adversarial categories
(jailbreak, prompt injection, PHI-elicitation, toxicity) to measure
generalization to unseen attacks; it is not distribution-matched to train.

Released label contract

Each row has one category, one severity, and one deterministic routing decision.

Severity is low, medium, high, or critical. It measures the strength and
consequence of the guardrail signal under this dataset’s rubric; it is not a
clinical diagnosis or a general-purpose measure of medical acuity.

Example record

Abbreviated real row (train), showing the conditioning context and an
adjudication that corrected the generation target — the case was generated
toward toxicity, but both blind judges independently read it as a routine
(if sarcastic) navigation request:

How it was built

1. Generation. League Labs SYNTH generated provenance-preserving candidate
   cases from structured personas and situations, using two source pools —
   Cohere Command A+ (05-2026, W4A4): 6,748 rows; NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super 120B (A12B, FP8): 6,965 rows. Each row carries its safety contract and
   generation receipts.
2. Curation. Candidates passed validation, exact/normalized lexical
   deduplication, BGE-M3 semantic deduplication, targeted complexification of
   redundant/low-information cases, and independent critic checks.
3. Blind labeling. Gemini 3.6 Flash independently labeled each final member
   message without seeing its source label, source-model identity, or SYNTH trait
   snapshot.
4. Blind adjudication. Claude Opus 4.8 independently adjudicated under the
   same blind rubric.
5. Consensus selection. This Hub release retains only rows where both models
   returned the same category, severity, and decision.

The two judgments were produced independently, but both are foundation models.
label_adjudication should be treated as model-agreement evidence, not human
inter-annotator agreement.

Consensus statistics

The original generation target is provenance, not gold truth. For this release,
the exact two-model consensus is promoted to the provided label contract.

Row schema

Traits are not inferred when source provenance is absent; missing values remain
explicit rather than being invented.

Intended use

• Training and calibrating healthcare input-guardrail classifiers.
• Evaluating category, severity, and allow/refuse/escalate routing.
• Testing robustness across synthetic communication, literacy, privacy, trust,
  care-navigation, and situation variation.
• Reproducible research on synthetic safety-data generation and model adjudication.

Out-of-scope use

• Clinical diagnosis, treatment, triage, or medical decision-making.
• Treating model consensus as clinician-reviewed ground truth.
• Inferring facts about real people, League members, or a real population.
• Re-identification or attempts to map synthetic personas to individuals.
• Training a general dialogue model directly on harmful examples without a
  separate safety design and evaluation.
• Treating intended-use guidance as a substitute for application-level safety
  controls, validation, or applicable healthcare obligations.

Risks and limitations

• Consensus selection bias: difficult and ambiguous rows are underrepresented
  because non-consensus samples were excluded (29.6% of the
  parent RC did not reach exact consensus).
• Correlated judge errors: Gemini and Opus can share blind spots or interpret
  the rubric similarly without being correct.
• Synthetic realism: plausible wording does not make a case clinically factual
  or population-representative.
• Severity sensitivity: severity was the least stable field in the parent RC;
  downstream users should calibrate it separately from category and decision.
• Boundary coverage: use the excluded internal review cohort—not this
  high-consensus subset—when specifically studying adjudicator disagreement.
• Sensitive-shaped data: PHI/PII-like values and crises are fabricated, but the
  material can still be upsetting or trigger content filters.

Population prior & attribution (CDC PLACES)

Health-topic frequency in the synthetic population is weighted using aggregate,
public-domain statistics from CDC PLACES: Local Data for Better Health
(County Data, 2025 release; accessed June 30, 2026). PLACES publishes
model-based, small-area prevalence estimates — aggregate population statistics,
not individual records. PLACES informs sampling weights only; no PLACES row,
table, or statistic is reproduced in this dataset.

Data Source & Attribution

• Synthetic samples are derived from population-health statistics published
  in CDC PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, a U.S. public-domain
  dataset. Source: CDC. Underlying prevalence statistics were developed by
  the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ATSDR, and/or HHS.
• The substantive content of the CDC source statistics has not been altered;
  they are used only to inform the distribution of synthetically generated
  samples. The CDC source material is available at no charge:
