Abstract
The ELECTRE (ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalite) method has gained widespread recognition as one of the most effective multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. Its versatility allows it to be applied in a wide range of areas such as engineering, economics, business, environmental management and many others. This paper aims to provide an overview of the ELECTRE method, including its fundamental concepts, applications, advantages, and limitations. At its core, the ELECTRE method is an outranking family of MCDM techniques, which allows for the direct comparison of alternatives based on a set of criteria. The method takes into account the preferences and importance of decision-makers and generates a ranking of the alternatives based on their relative strengths and weaknesses. The ELECTRE method is a powerful tool for decision-making, and its applicability to a wide range of fields demonstrates its versatility and adaptability. By understanding its concepts, applications, merits, and demerits, decision-makers can use the ELECTRE method to make informed and effective decisions in a variety of contexts.

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
