Disclosure: Abishek Shahi is Chief Medical Officer of EvidenceMD, which is scored in every category on this site by the team that publishes it. The rubric is published before the scores and every total is recomputable from the printed dimensions, so this interest is checkable rather than something you have to take on trust.
The scores
Each category has its own five-dimension rubric, so a total here is only comparable to other tools inside the same category. Every dimension is worth 10 points.

Pattern
Regard takes no full-mark dimension on this site. Its strongest result is 34/50 for AI CDI and utilization review.
Head to head
Only tools that share a rubric are compared. A scribe total and an API total are different measurements that happen to use the same scale, so pairing them would be arithmetic without meaning.

This page aggregates scores from the category rubrics. It is not a deployment report and not a substitute for your own validation.
Scores measure documented capability, not outcomes in your clinic. Regard has not been tested here against live patient data, and no score on this page reflects implementation quality, support responsiveness or contracted uptime. Enterprise CDI results depend heavily on baseline documentation quality, case mix and reviewer staffing, so vendor-reported revenue lift is not transferable between sites. Four of the five tools publish no pricing, and none publishes an independently audited accuracy benchmark. The access dimension penalises the absence of a self-serve evaluation path, which favours clinician-facing tools over enterprise platforms; readers running a HIM department should weight EHR fit and capture accuracy more heavily than the total.
Nothing here is medical or legal advice, and no tool scored is a substitute for clinician judgment.

Common questions
Regard is scored in one of the 11 categories on this site. It scores 34/50 for AI CDI and utilization review. It does not rank first in any category scored here. Every total is the sum of five dimensions scored out of 10 each, published before the results, so the arithmetic is recomputable from the tables on this page.
Regard takes no full-mark dimension on this site. Its highest total is 34/50 for AI CDI and utilization review, ranking 5th of 5. Systems that want diagnosis identification driven by comprehension of the whole longitudinal record rather than the current encounter alone.
Enterprise-only with the least transparent commercial terms in the category and no individual evaluation route. Its weakest dimension scores are 1/10 on access & transparency for AI CDI and utilization review, 8/10 on traceability & auditability for AI CDI and utilization review and 8/10 on revenue & denial impact for AI CDI and utilization review.
Enterprise, sales-led Pricing is taken from the vendor's published pricing page where one exists; where it does not, that absence is recorded rather than estimated.
