Abstract
This paper presents an analytical framework for evaluating the Fully Burdened Cost of Energy (FBCE) in military operations. The FBCE of a system represents the energy commodity price plus the logistics costs associated with the delivery of energy to the system, including transportation, infrastructure, and force protection costs. The purpose of the FBCE concept is to allow a proper evaluation of the energy costs when assessing different alternatives in military operations and acquisitions. The FBCE shall also be used to inform decisions on the size and focus of investment in science and technology programs related to the development of new platforms, renewable energy solutions, etc. This paper used cost estimation techniques to calculate the FBCE and focused on fuel-based military systems and operations. Two case studies using Canadian Forces domestic and deployed operational bases were presented and discussed to demonstrate the methodology.

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
