Abstract
The design of a map and guide for a Spanish natural park has been guided by the application of a product-development methodology known as quality function deployment (QFD). QFD is a tool for bringing the voice of the customer into the product-development process, from conceptual design to manufacturing. In order to develop a high-quality product whose design meets customers’ needs, market research has been developed to discover customers’ expectations and the strengths and weaknesses of competitors’ products. Sixteen main customer expectations (WHATs) were considered in relation to product comfort, content, and portrayal. In order to take into account the aforementioned expectations, 24 technical descriptors (HOWs) were considered. The product was finally specified by all the technical descriptors and their target values (HOW MUCHs). Results of the methodology are expressed using a set of matrices that depicts a house, the “House of Quality,” that concentrates the most important aspects of a product plan. Applying this methodology is an enriching experience, but somewhat difficult and time consuming.

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
