ClinHallu locates where in a reasoning chain a model hallucinates, not just whether it did.
Story
This benchmark diagnoses the specific step where a medical multimodal LLM goes wrong, instead of only scoring the final answer (arXiv 2606.14697). The stage-wise framing is the transferable idea. Pinpointing the failing reasoning step generalizes to any high-stakes multi-step pipeline, clinical or not. Final-answer evals tell you that something broke. Stage-wise evals tell you where, which is what you need to actually fix it.
