Beyond the Flag: Clinical Framing Closes the Moderation Gap in Suicide Risk Measurement

This hits a real regulatory and ethical gap. California SB 243 and similar laws are making severity measurement a legal requirement, not optional. If you're building a platform with safety obligations or working on trust and safety tooling, flagging alone is no longer enough. You need ordinal-aware measurement to distinguish ideation from planning, and the benchmark gives you a test set to build against.
