Abstract
Abstract : Several research programs have been undertaken in recent years to investigate the performance of aged soft body armor used by Canadian police forces. The original aim of this work was originally to inform police about the suitability of in-service armor, but it became rapidly clear that any system of checking aged armor would require starting with good quality new armor of known performance. Testing of field-returned body armor revealed many unexpected situations where armor allowed bullet perforations at standard velocities. In the meantime, the latest version of the ballistic body armor standard, NIJ-0101.06 was released in 2008, introducing a higher degree of design and production consistency in body armor. Based on elements from this most recent version of the ballistic standard, a method for further ensuring production quality has been proposed via a lot acceptance test, followed in the future by an aged armor test against that lot. Practitioners of this protocol will enjoy reassurance that they have supplied their officers with quality products. They may further enjoy economic benefit by extending the use of that armor into the future, provided it passes laboratory testing.

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.
