Abstract
There are many tools available to support quality and risk management in the IVF Lab. However, they are not specific to our field – they are all very well-established generic tools and techniques that have been used for many years in all areas of business. Inspection and audit are observational tools that establish what is happening and whether defined practices are being followed. More in-depth investigations where a process must be analyzed and improved, or risks identified and managed, might need to be undertaken either proactively or retrospectively, for which the most commonly used tools are Failure Modes and Effects Analysis and Root Cause Analysis respectively. Inspection Inspection is simply the careful examination of what goes on in the IVF Lab: what the environmental conditions are in the lab; is the lab equipment working properly; what happens in the lab in terms of material and people movement; are the products used in the lab appropriate and suitable for use; how tasks are performed; how information is recorded; and how data are analyzed. It involves the collection, collation and analysis of data, as well as the examination of processes, which is best accomplished using process mapping. The daily equipment logs maintained by IVF labs following GLP come under this heading, as does the filing of Certificates of Analysis for each batch of culture media and other reagents and routine QC checks on equipment. Unless such information is carefully recorded and/or filed it will not be available if required in a future troubleshooting exercise.

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.
