Abstract
Without dispute, kidney dialysis treatment has been successful in saving lives. As a result of this intervention, increasing numbers of people are now facing the many physical, social, and emotional challenges of living with ESRD (end stage renal disease). Compromised vision, mobility, dexterity, and overall health have presented important methodological challenges to the authors' participatory action research (PAR) study of ESRD patients' quality of life. This article proceeds broadly in three steps: (a) an explanation of the authors' interest in PAR and the challenges that ESRD poses for PAR, (b) a description of how they adapted two visual techniques (photovoice and documentary film making) to address those challenges, and (c) a discussion of how they have and have not overcome the challenges of working with PAR.

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
