Abstract
Many of the estimated three million state-subsidised houses that South Africa has delivered to the poor in registered ownership since the end of apartheid in 1994 have changed hands off-register, creating cloudy titles. This is indicative of effective tenure administration being ranked below other policy goals without suitable strategies to address the shortcomings of granting ownership as the tenure form upfront. Interviews with residents, community leaders, officials, and land professionals indicate that buyers register transactions if the registration system is accessible, the family unit believes registration is useful, and that they are aware of the risks of off-register transactions. The South African land governance system is somewhat incoherent, with various hybrid official and unofficial arrangements. In this environment, community-based organisations (CBOs) may unwittingly encourage off-register transactions. It follows that continual title maintenance and CBO engagement are crucial in maintaining clean titles.

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
