Abstract
A methane data revolution is just around the corner, making it possible to move beyond generic emission factors that attempt to estimate the release of methane pollution, and to replace them with more accurate empirical measurements of what is actually happening on the ground. This is crucial for effective mitigation measures. The International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is poised to catalyse rapid climate action informed through these new data, with a programme of science studies, industry partnerships, the design of a robust measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) framework, a satellite alert and response system, and a team of several dozen methane experts.

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
