Major necessary reforms would mean an integrated service and more medical input A review of the coroner's service in England and Wales and Northern Ireland was published in June 2003.1 This was followed on 14 July by the Shipman inquiry report of Dame Janet Smith, which dealt with the role of coroners.2 Dame Janet Smith also commented on the review. The coroner is central to death investigation in the English legal system, and implementation of these proposals will result in major changes. The current system is fragmented, legalistic, and inadequately funded. The coroner was exported to many Commonwealth countries. In the United States and Canada, many states and provinces have abolished the coroner's system, replacing it with a medical examiner's system. Other systems have been modernised, notably in Ontario, Canada, and Victoria, Australia. Both the review and the judicial inquiry recommend a full time service.

Not 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.
