Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Whole Foods Market (WFM) is the world's largest retailer specializing in natural and organic foods. WFM began with one store in Austin, Texas in 1980 and by 2014 had over 365 locations – mainly in the United States, but also Canada and the United Kingdom (WFM, 2014a). The chain was the country's first certified organic grocer and carries a wide range of USDA‐certified organic foods. WFM does not sell products containing harmful additives, artificial colors, preservatives, sweeteners, or hydrogenated fats (WFM, 2014b). A quality standards team maintains a list of chemicals that are banned from the store, and also bans meats produced using antibiotics, growth hormones, or under inhumane conditions (e.g., beak trimming broiler chickens) (WFM, 2014c).

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
