Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The world is facing an unprecedented crisis of climate change and loss of biodiversity, but the evaluation profession has failed to develop the approaches and tools needed to effectively evaluate programs that operate at the nexus of human and natural systems. The Canadian Evaluation Society (CES) undertook a stocktaking in 2019–2020 to assess the state of sustainability-ready evaluation in Canada. The results confirmed that sustainability is not being systematically addressed by evaluators in Canada and the United States and that considerable work is needed to equip the profession to respond to the need. The CES has taken steps toward promoting the importance of sustainability, but more work is needed to ensure the profession is equipped to effectively address all dimensions of sustainability.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
