Abstract
Project-based activities are at the heart of the virtual organization concept, which implies working in a limited timeframe with distributed teams. Although distributed projects provide major benefits in terms of tapping partners' competencies, they represent a significant challenge for coordinating and monitoring team performance. The paper investigates distributed projects with a specific focus on performance metrics. This topic is central to performance measurement and control, particularly in cases where several organizations are involved. At this stage, very few studies have looked at this issue. We offer an exploratory discussion based on three dimensions that could eventually assist in the development of performance metrics for distributed projects. These dimensions refer to the concepts of project value chain, balanced scorecards, and a focus on the end user's requirements. The dimensions are explored using the example of a re-manufacturing project: a typical industrial project involving a series of actors working together in a distributed mode.

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
