2. Accuracy - validate against medical knowledge bases
3. Appropriateness - right level of detail for user
4. Uncertainty - proper expression of confidence
5. Regulatory compliance - FDA guidelines consideration

Answer Structure:
1. Resolution rate - did it solve the problem?
2. Efficiency - number of turns to resolution
3. Satisfaction - human evaluation or feedback
4. Consistency - similar responses to similar queries
5. Escalation appropriateness - knows when to hand off

Options:
1. Human preference comparison (pairwise)
2. Consistency checking across multiple runs
3. Self-consistency (does model agree with itself?)
4. Proxy metrics (engagement, user actions)
5. Expert evaluation for subset
