Abstract
Nattukottai Chettiars are members of a business community from South India, expanded their money lending and other business activities into various Southeast Asian countries including Sri Lanka. In Ceylon, from the later part of the eighteenth century to first quarter of the twentieth century their businesses were in the upward trend. This rising trend came to an end with the Chetti Crisis of 1925 and the Great Depression of 1930. The monopolistic power in the money lending business, lack of sources of credit to Ceylonese, the gap between British banks and Ceylonese, caste and kinship network among their community, lower level of government controls and natural entrepreneurial skills of Chettiars were the reasons behind the growth of Chettiars in Ceylon. The uncertainty arose due to the Chetti Crisis and the Great Depression was the starting point of the downward trend of the businesses of Chettiars. Various legislations introduced by the Governments of those periods, establishment of Bank of Ceylon and other banking institutions, breach of good relationship between British banks and Chettiars and formation of national movements accelerated the fall of Chettiar businesses in Sri Lanka.

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.
