Abstract
The purpose of this project is to identify why, fewer businesses in Prince George, use local TV as their primary advertising vehicle when compared to other broadcast media. It will also explore the reasons why these local businesses choose the marketing methods that they do. Through this research I will determine firms' opinions of TV and identify their openness to using TV advertising. I will also determine the level of satisfaction of current TV advertisers. The analysis is going to provide suggestions to improve clients' perception of local TV advertising and propose sales and human resource strategies that will, ideally, increase market share and revenue for the TV sales department of the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group Prince George Division (JPBG).

While interviewing the advertisers, relationship with their account managers was the number one and two reasons why they choose to use the advertising mediums that they do. In a community t

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
