Abstract
Over the last decade, the project management office (PMO) has become a prominent feature in many organizations. Despite the proliferation of PMOs in practice, our understanding of this phenomenon remains sketchy at best. No consensus exists as to the way PMOs are or should be structured nor as to the functions they should or do fill in organizations. In addition, there is no agreement as to the value of PMOs. Despite the importance of this phenomena and the lack of understanding, there has been very little research on this topic. A three-phase research program has been undertaken in order to develop a better understand of PMOs. This paper presents the research strategy, the overall program, and the results of the first phase of the research.

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
