Abstract
The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care, an international centre that helps doctors to put research findings into practice, is under threat of closure after 25 years' work. Established in 1976 as an independent scientific panel of experts, the task force enlists volunteer members to review the clinical evidence on topics such as dementia, colorectal cancer, and breast self examination and then publishes recommendations for doctors on the basis of the weight of accumulated evidence. Its set of guidelines is considered the authoritative source for Canadian doctors, and its innovations of systematically classifying research into levels of evidence …

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
