Abstract
Abstract The millennial ‘rediscovery’ of poverty as a global challenge, by the United Nations and other multilateral agencies, was accompanied by the (rather premature) announcement that a ‘global consensus’ had been established on the philosophy and policy of poverty alleviation. The paper presents a critical account of the origins and character of this global consensus on poverty alleviation, which is based on a family of supply‐side, ‘human‐capital’ approaches that incentivize risk‐taking, investment‐oriented behavior on the part of poor households. It concludes that such global models of poverty management represent more than carriers of best practices or conveyors of multilateral policy accords; they epitomize a form of ‘fast policy’ integration in which policy problems themselves are effectively redefined (or ‘reformatted’) through preconstituted strategies, with outcomes that nevertheless remain geographically uneven and deeply contradictory.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
