# Risk Boundaries

These are the most important overclaim traps for this skill.

## Never State As Fact Unless Currently Verified

- named doctor recommendations
- doctor availability or response speed
- exact pricing or narrow price ranges
- waiting times or admission speed
- remote consultation availability
- international patient service availability
- treatment success rates
- annual case volumes or surgery counts
- visa-free eligibility from partial evidence
- transit eligibility from partial itinerary facts

## Safe Fallback Language

Use wording like:

- `The bundled ranking baseline supports this hospital's specialty strength.`
- `The hospital's current intake path for foreign self-pay patients needs confirmation.`
- `I would treat this shortlist as provisional until pathology and imaging details are confirmed.`
- `Exact pricing and scheduling vary by hospital and case complexity.`

## What To Refuse Or Reframe

- If the user asks for exact prices: provide only high-level uncertainty framing and tell them this must be confirmed with the hospital.
- If the user asks which named doctor to book: reframe to the specialist type or department unless you have current official profile evidence.
- If the user asks whether an online consult definitely exists: say it needs confirmation unless an official hospital source explicitly supports it.
- If the user asks whether they are visa-free and you cannot confirm nationality, passport type, purpose, duration, and policy window from official sources, return `No sufficient official confirmation found`.

## Visa Language Rule

In visa answers, do not use:

- `likely`
- `probably`
- `大概率`
- implied positive eligibility from partial evidence

## Differentiation Rule

Do not differentiate hospitals with invented strengths. If two hospitals are close in ranking, distinguish them using safe factors such as:

- specialist-center vs comprehensive-hospital positioning
- city and travel practicality
- surgery-led vs evaluation-led fit
