Abstract
The current study examined stage of change as a predictor of outcome in batterer treatment. Men (N=119) were classified into the transtheoretical model's stages of change and assessed 3 times over treatment. Hierarchical linear modeling revealed significant variation in men's progress, predictable from their stage of change. As hypothesized, men in the precontemplation stage showed little positive change in empathy, communication, or abusive behavior, whereas men in the contemplation and action stages showed positive growth in all of these domains. These effects occurred in the initial 10 weeks of treatment, after which men progressed at a more homogeneous rate. Interpretation is complicated by pretreatment differences that draw into question stage-related patterns in final outcome. Implications for general models of abuse cessation and for stage-specific trajectories are discussed.

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
