Abstract
This paper contributes to the ongoing debate about the nature of the relationship between theory and practice. It reviews traditional approaches, considers more recent ones, both within and beyond the archival domain, and concludes that the relationship is a dynamic one. It offers a case study on the investigation of the application of appraisal theory in a range of UK archives, which demonstrates that training, experience, and intuition are of as much use as theory to some practitioners, although responses are often shaped by the archives’ organizational setting. RESUME Ce texte contribue aux debats continus sur la nature du lien entre la theorie et la pratique. Il revoit les approches traditionnelles, il considere les plus recentes tant dans le domaine de l’archivistique qu’au-dela, et il conclut que le lien est dynamique. Il offre une etude de cas sur l’analyse d’une application de la theorie de l’evaluation archivistique dans un eventail d’archives britanniques qui revele que la formation, l’experience et l’intuition sont tout aussi utiles que la theorie pour certains praticiens, meme si les reponses sont souvent colorees par le contexte organisationnel du centre d’archives.

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
