Abstract
Thousands of Syrian refugees have entered Jordan, which has led to a humanitarian crisis and compounded an already tenuous social and economic crisis in the country. Social workers at the WAQE3 community development centre put in place a Participatory Rapid Appraisal (PRA) methodology, which assesses not only the needs of Syrian refugees but also of marginalized Jordanians. Participatory, bottom-up, and human rights focused, it is effective in assessing needs and is a useful tool for community building and moving towards social development. It is argued this methodology could be used as a template for social workers in other countries where refugee situations have become protracted.

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
