Abstract
Abstract Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy provides the forensic analyst with an extremely powerful tool for the detection and quantification of abused drugs. A whole range of one‐dimensional (1‐D) and two‐dimensional (2‐D) NMR techniques is available for performing the required analyses. These NMR methods may be used for routine purposes, such as to confirm the identity of a drug or quantify the amount of illicit substance present in a police exhibit. However, the area where NMR stands out as an analytical tool is in the identification of unknown compounds, such as “designer drugs”. NMR is also used in police intelligence work, as it can provide clues to the synthetic route used to prepare the drug. This is done by impurity profiling or by determining the drug's optical purity. Although NMR has been used for many years to analyze abused drugs, even the most modern spectrometers lack the sensitivity obtainable by other techniques such as mass spectrometry (MS) or high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). However, NMR is a nondestructive technique which provides essential structural information which cannot be obtained from these other methods. NMR also has the distinct advantage of not requiring reference standards for the identification of unknowns.

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
