Abstract
En 2006, Victoria est devenu le premier tat australien promulguer des lois qui criminalisent spcifiquement la destruction de documents dans des situations o aucun procs n'a encore commenc.Le Crimes (Document Destruction) Act et la lgislation complmentaire, l'Evidence (Document Unavailability) Act, incluent des infractions et des peines pour celles et ceux qui dtruisent des preuves.La nouvelle lgislation a immdiatement provoqu un malaise profond dans les secteurs publics et privs de Victoria : est-ce que ces lois voulaient dire qu'une organisation ne pouvait plus dtruire aucun document car on pourrait un jour en avoir besoin dans des procs n'ayant pas encore t prsents en cour ou n'ayant mme pas encore t envisags?Les agences se sont tournes vers le Public Record Office Victoria (PROV), l'autorit en matire des archives de l'tat, pour obtenir des conseils et des claircissements sur les rpercussions possibles de ces lois sur la gestion des documents et l'archivisti que.Cet article examine les questions que le PROV a d considrer pour dvelopper sa rponse aux deux lois et, de faon plus large, il explore comment la tendance de garder au cas o peut crer des dfis d'ordre intellectuel et pratique, tant pour les gestionnaires de documents que pour les archivistes.ABSTRACT In 2006, Victoria became the first state in Australia to enact laws spe cifically criminalizing document destruction in situations where no legal proceed ings had yet commenced.Included in the Crimes (Document Destruction) Act and its supporting adjunct, the Evidence (Document Unavailability) Act, are offences and penalties for those who destroy evidence.The new legislation sent an immediate and profound wave of unease throughout Victoria's public and private sectors: Did these laws mean that organizations could no longer destroy any record because it may one day be needed in discovery for a case not yet launched or even contemplated?Agencies turned to the Public Record Office Victoria (PROV), the state archival authority, for advice and clarification on what the Acts meant for recordkeeping and archives.This article reviews the issues that PROV considered in developing a response to the two Acts, and more broadly, how open-ended directions to "keep in case" can pose both intellectual and practical challenges for records managers and archivists alike.

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
