Abstract
Using a bioeconomic model that explicitly accounts for inventory and treatment expenditures, we carry out benefit-cost analyses of management strategies for three invasive plants in British Columbia: hawkweed, Scotch broom and Eurasian watermilfoil. For hawkweed, a province-wide biocontrol programme could achieve greater benefits than a conventional control programme, while for Scotch broom a small-scale mechanical treatment programme applied in a transport corridor was not economically viable unless it prevented spread into the surrounding area. Mechanical treatment of Eurasian watermilfoil in regional lakes generates net benefits to society, but inventory should be a key component of a control programme. Based on these analyses, we recommend continued development of successful biological control programmes for hawkweed and other invasive plant species.

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
