Applying software engineering standards in small settings : recent historical perspectives and initial achievement
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The software industry recognizes the value of very small enterprises (VSEs) in contributing valuable products and services. ISO International standards were not written for small projects, small development organizations, or companies with between 1 and 25 employees, and are consequently difficult to apply in such settings. Moreover, the current international Life Cycle Standards, ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15288, and their associated guides, do not explicitly address the needs of VSEs. This new international standardization project proposes to address some of those difficulties by developing profiles and by providing guidance for compliance with ISO software engineering standards such as ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO 9001.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
