Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Canadian Hunger Foundation (CHF), one of Canada’s oldest international development charities, suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed in 2015. This article describes the organisation’s history and achievements, and examines a series of critical missteps by board and staff, CHF’s complicated relationships with its major funders, the political economy of fundraising in Canada and a confluence of events that caused a competent and experienced development organisation, poised for success, to simply vanish.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
