Abstract
We developed a reporting guideline to provide authors with guidance about what should be reported when writing a paper for publication in a scientific journal using a particular type of research design: the single-case experimental design. This report describes the methods used to develop the Single-Case Reporting guideline In BEhavioural interventions (SCRIBE) 2016. As a result of 2 online surveys and a 2-day meeting of experts, the SCRIBE 2016 checklist was developed, which is a set of 26 items that authors need to address when writing about single-case research. This article complements the more detailed SCRIBE 2016Explanation and Elaboration article (Tate et al., 2016Tate R. Perdices M. Rosenkoetter U. McDonald S. Togher L. Shadish W. for the SCRIBE GroupThe Single-Case Reporting guideline In BEhavioural interventions (SCRIBE) 2016: Explanation and elaboration.Archives of Scientific Psychology. 2016; 4: 10-31Crossref Google Scholar) that provides a rationale for each of the items and examples of adequate reporting from the literature. Both these resources will assist authors to prepare reports of single-case research with clarity, completeness, accuracy, and transparency. They will also provide journal reviewers and editors with a practical checklist against which such reports may be critically evaluated. We recommend that the SCRIBE 2016 is used by authors preparing manuscripts describing single-case research for publication, as well as journal reviewers and editors who are evaluating such manuscripts.Scientific AbstractReporting guidelines, such as the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) Statement, improve the reporting of research in the medical literature (Turner et al., 2012Turner L. Shamseer L. Altman D.G. Weeks L. Peters J. Kober T. Moher D. Consolidated standards of reporting trials (CONSORT) and the completeness of reporting of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published in medical journals.Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 2012; 11: MR000030http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/14651858.mr000030.pub2Crossref PubMed Scopus (508) Google Scholar). Many such guidelines exist and the CONSORT Extension to Nonpharmacological Trials (Boutron et al., 2008Boutron I. Moher D. Altman D.G. Schulz K.F. Ravaud P. the CONSORT GroupExtending the CONSORT Statement to randomized trials of nonpharmacologic treatment: Explanation and elaboration.Annals of Internal Medicine. 2008; 148: 295-309http://dx.doi.org/10.7326/0003-4819-148-4-200802190-00008Crossref PubMed Scopus (1699) Google Scholar) provides suitable guidance for reporting between groups intervention studies in the behavioral sciences. The CONSORT Extension for N-of-1 Trials (CENT 2015) was developed for multiple crossover trials with single individuals in the medical sciences (Shamseer et al. 2015Shamseer L. Sampson M. Bukutu C. Schmid C.H. Nikles J. Tate R. the CENT GroupCONSORT extension for reporting N-of-1 trials (CENT) 2015: Explanation and elaboration.British Medical Journal. 2015; 350: h1793http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmj/h1793Crossref PubMed Scopus (42) Google Scholar, Vohra et al., 2015Vohra S.

We developed the Single-Case Reporting guideline In BEhavioural interventions (SCRIBE) 2016 to meet this need. This Statement article describes the methodology of the development of the SCRIBE 2016, along with the outcome of 2 Delphi surveys and a consensus meeting of experts. We present the resulting 26-item SCRIBE 2016 checklist. The article complements the more detailed SCRIBE 2016 Explanation and Elaboration article (Tate et al., 2016Tate R. Perdices M. Rosenkoetter U.

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
