Budget Every Clinical Interruption
Provocation: every AI alert should spend from a finite interruption budget. A warning earns clinician attention only when calibrated risk and actionability clear a predefined threshold; low-value systems lose the privilege to interrupt. Patient benefit, not alert volume, becomes the scarce resource the model must optimize.
