## Overview

differential-diagnosis-framework is a structured approach to diagnostic reasoning: generating a
complete hypothesis set from a presentation, prioritizing by probability and treatability, and
testing efficiently. It is aimed at clinical trainees, researchers building diagnostic tools, and
anyone who needs diagnostic reasoning made explicit — it does not replace clinical judgment and is
not a substitute for professional medical evaluation.

The framework fights the two classic diagnostic failure modes: premature closure (stopping at the
first plausible diagnosis) and shotgun testing (ordering everything, interpreting nothing).

## When to use

- Working up an undifferentiated presentation: building the initial differential.
