Abstract
The systemic therapy management of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has evolved from primarily cytotoxic chemotherapies to now include targeted agents given alone or in combination with chemotherapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. A better understanding of the pathogenesis and molecular drivers of colorectal cancer not only aided the development of novel targeted therapies but led to the discovery of tumor mutations which act as predictive biomarkers for therapeutic response. Mutational status of the KRAS gene became the first genomic biomarker to be established as part of standard of care molecular testing, where KRAS mutations within exons 2, 3, and 4 predict a lack of response to anti- epidermal growth factor receptor therapies. Since then, several other biomarkers have become relevant to inform mCRC treatment; however, there are no published Canadian guidelines which reflect the current standards for biomarker testing. This guideline was developed by a pan-Canadian advisory group to provide contemporary, evidence-based recommendations on the minimum acceptable standards for biomarker testing in mCRC, and to describe additional biomarkers for consideration.

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
