Healthcare 9-axis

The standard 7 axes plus two healthcare-specific dimensions: PHI exposure scope and BAA requirements. For founders building on patient data, clinical workflows, telehealth, or insurance integrations. Required for the Stackforge healthcare-compliance-saas blueprint handoff.

Axis composition

Each axis must reach its minimum signal count before score() can be called.

Verdict thresholds

The verdict flows from the math. Thresholds are scaled for the number of axes in this protocol.

buildtotal ≥ 72 (9 axes) AND no axis below 6
iteratetotal 54–71, no axis ≤ 4
scope_cut3 or more axes ≤ 5
pivotany single axis ≤ 3

Enterprise tier

Verticalised protocols are available on Enterprise tier.

Healthcare, fintech, and workforce protocols include axes that require domain-specific signal validation. They're bundled with the Stackforge Compliance tier — a passed healthcare-9-axis assessment hands off directly to the hipaa-ready-healthcare-saas Stackforge blueprint.
