Abstract
An important upstream activity in the overall design of a system is the allocation of the means and tolerances. This is a daunting task because of the need to satisfy multiple competing demands that arise from performance, cost and quality policies. Herein, the so-called design-for-six-sigma is adopted for the allocation process whereby the philosophy of zero defects in Six Sigma is now applied to the system performances. Probability-constrained optimisation is invoked. Robustness and cost measures are required. The production cost provides the objective function to be minimised and a maximum allowable system probability of non-conformance (e.g. a system defect rate) provides the primary design constraint. The design of an electro-mechanical servo system with three responses, three control variables and two noise variables is given. Means and tolerances for the three control variables plus system costs for progressively lower product defect rates show the practicality and potential of the approach.

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
