Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Accountants do it. So do consultants, engineers, computer professionals, and public administrators. Fund-raising professionals do it too! What are all these professionals doing? They all participate in professional certification programs offered by leading professional associations. The Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP) offers professional certification to its members through the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) Certification Board. The results of a 2001 survey enlighten us on the true value of fund-raising certification.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
