Facet

A four-subtype ADHD classifier — with an indeterminate path.

A deterministic four-subtype classification engine using eye-tracking and cognitive features. Confidence-gated with an explicit indeterminate output — no false certainty.

FacetFrontier · Classification

The most honest number is sometimes we don't know yet.

Subtype classifiers in psychiatry commonly overreach. Trained on ambiguous ground truth and deployed against patients whose signal is weaker than expected, they output a class every time — even when confidence is low. That confidence gap doesn't disappear just because a system refuses to show it.

Facet uses four subtypes plus an explicit indeterminate path. When the eye-tracking and cognitive signal isn't strong enough to pick a subtype confidently, the output is "indeterminate — collect more data," with the reason shown to the clinician. That's where the model's uncertainty belongs — and it's what makes the other three answers trustworthy.

Features

Classification that knows what it doesn't know.

01

4 subtypes + indeterminate

Deterministic classification into one of four subtypes — or an explicit indeterminate output when confidence is below threshold.

02

Eye-tracking primary

Gaze dynamics as the primary signal — a modality with more discriminating power than self-report at the subtype level.

03

Cognitive-battery secondary

Complementary features from a validated cognitive battery — used to disambiguate cases the eye-tracking alone can't resolve.

04

SaMD traceability

Every decision has a receipt — the inputs, the model version, and the confidence. Built with Software-as-a-Medical-Device review in mind, though that classification itself is still pending.

Open Facet

The classifier is built. Cohort validation is next.

Facet's classifier is implemented and tested against synthetic data; validation on a real clinical cohort — and the clinical UI — are both in build.

For researchers

Batch classification and audit — run the classifier over a study population and audit every decision. In build.

Facet is one of the research tools built inside the Synapse Spark Foundation. Everything we make is part of the same mission — understanding neurodivergent minds and supporting the researchers advancing the science.
