      "description": "A disease-blind reasoning engine for rare-disease decision support, written in Rust. It reads a patient's extracted facts and a compiled knowledge model and returns an explainable, ranked shortlist of candidate disorders, with the evidence and provenance attached. The engine is open; the disease knowledge it reads is compiled data. It does not guess: every concept, threshold and code traces to a source, or to what a report itself prints. It ships with a synthetic example model and is not a medical device.",
