Abstract
This case study concerns an 84-year-old woman who suffered three UTIs in quick succession after not having had one in over a year. Rather than dealing with these infections once they appeared, it was decided to try and determine what was causing them and then treat this cause. The patient had an over-active bladder and wore incontinence protection to bed at night. One possible cause was infection that could develop from the patient sleeping in soiled incontinence protection. The patient was instructed to shower before going to bed at night and upon arising in the morning. Once this routine was established, the UTIs disappeared. At this writing, the patient has not had a UTI for six months. This success suggests the importance of incontinent women washing before bed and after waking up. For bed ridden patients, or patients in long-term care facilities where daily showers are not possible, perhaps using wet wipes after each bowel movement will also prevent UTIs from occurring.

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
