Abstract
Seasonal restrictions on harvesting and transportation operations have traditionally forced mill managers to maintain high levels of inventory in the log-yard to ensure continuous operation of the mill. We propose two technologies which may prolong the operating season, potentially reducing inventory handling and holding costs: Central tire Inflation (CTIS) and cable-based harvest systems. To evaluate the effect of the CTIS-equipped trucks and cable-based harvesting on the wood supply chain, a discrete event simulation model was developed and was validated. The simulation model estimates the total cost of the system with each technology included, both separately and in combination. It was found that there was a small significant saving in inventory costs lor scenarios that used CTIS trucks, but no significant savings in overall cost was observed for any of the technologies.

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
