Sample evaluation licence
Release sample-v1. Approved 2026-10-17. The same text is published at /legal/sample-license/ on the CohortLoom site.
What this is
This free sample is synthetic by construction: simulated patients, with documents written by language models from the simulated charts. It contains no real patient data and no PHI.
You may
- use the sample to evaluate CohortLoom and for non-commercial research;
- share the sample with credit to CohortLoom.
You may not
- present the sample as real patient data, de-identified data, or clinically validated data;
- use it to make decisions about the care of real people.

No warranty
The sample is for testing, development and research and is provided "as is". Machine-written documents can contain clinical errors; that is expected in test data and is why each file ships with an answer key.
