Abstract
egional analgesia is currently the most effective form of pain relief for women in labor and may include an epidural, a spinal or a combination of the two techniques. The evolution of maintenance of epidural analgesia has progressed from manually delivered intermittent boluses to continuous epidural infusion (CEI), to the addition of patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) boluses for breakthrough pain and now programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB). PIEB has evolved as a superior method for delivering labor analgesia due to reduced hourly local anesthetic consumption, less need for clinician intervention, and improved maternal pain and satisfaction scores.

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
