Abstract
An analysis of data from the Workers' Compensation Board of Ontario reveals evidence of a “Monday effect”—more workers' compensation claims on Mondays than on other days, especially for back injuries and sprains/strains—similar in magnitude to that found in U.S. studies. Because Canadians, unlike most Americans, have universal health care, this similarity across the studies' core results disfavors the hypothesis that workers post-date weekend injuries in order to obtain medical care via workers' compensation insurance. A second moral hazard explanation that is not ruled out, however, is that some workers represent non-work-related injuries as work-related in order to exploit the earnings loss indemnification provided by workers' compensation. Finally, the results are not inconsistent with the strictly physiology-based hypothesis that time off during weekends and holidays simply makes workers more susceptible to injuries of all types, but especially back injuries and sprains and strains.

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
