Condition Watchlist Dashboard

Condition-family watchlists show a split between stock-heavy disease backlogs and a separate healthy-volunteer ghost pattern

Oncology leads on adjusted no-results stock, cardiovascular and metabolic remain next in line, gastrointestinal and reproductive portfolios still rise above expectation, and healthy volunteers become the clearest ghost and black-box outlier.

Oncology leads the adjusted no-results table, cardiovascular and metabolic follow, and healthy volunteers rise much more sharply on ghost protocols and black-box rate.

Oncology, cardiovascular, and metabolic portfolios dominate the adjusted stock table.
These remain the biggest count-heavy disease backlogs in the wave-nine condition view.

Healthy volunteers move to the top once the lens shifts from missing results to ghost protocols.
That is the major condition-family divergence in this wave.

Oncology still dominates absolute black-box stock, but healthy volunteers are much sharper on black-box rate.
This is why stock and rate must both be read.
