Abstract
To explore global trends in manual wheelchair service provision knowledge across geographic, professional, and socioeconomic domains. A secondary analysis of a dataset from the International Society of Wheelchair Professionals' Wheelchair Service Provision Basic Knowledge Test was conducted. The dataset included test takers from around the world and was extracted from Test.com and International Society of Wheelchair Professionals' Wheelchair International Network. Participants 2,467 unique test takers from 86 countries. Interventions Not applicable. International Society of Wheelchair Professionals' Wheelchair Service Provision Basic Knowledge Test. We identified significant inverse associations between pass rate and the following variables: education (high school and some college), test taker motivation (required by academic program or employer), and country income setting (low and middle). There were significant positive associations between pass rate and the following variables: training received (offered by Mobility India or 'other NGO'), and age group served (early childhood). Global wheelchair knowledge trends related to key variables such as training, occupation, and income setting have been preliminarily explored. Future work includes further validation of the primary outcome measure and recruitment of a larger sample size to further explore significant associations between additional test taker variables.

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
