Why it's stuck
Accurate planning for FLASH has mostly lived inside proprietary vendor systems. The benefit is only about 10 to 20 percent, so small dose errors can erase it, yet open tools are few.
What we'd try
Fund and run open, validated dose simulation across many machine setups so smaller centers and trials can plan accurately.
What could stop us
Open FLASH planning tools already exist, and checking dose accuracy across machines needs measured beam data the lab may not be able to get.
