Abstract
Students’ attrition is a critical challenge in higher education, and the EduGuard RetainX software represents a transformative solution. To accurately identify at-risk students, this innovative platform harnesses advanced predictive analytics with knowledge of the personal and institutional costs of student dropout. Using the software, educators can provide students with tailored, student-centric support early on. In addition, the software fosters a collaborative, data-driven culture that allows a wide range of stakeholders to contribute to student success initiatives. The platform has demonstrated significant positive effects and real advantages, as shown by thorough evaluations of its usability using Dowding and Merrill's usability checklist, where it achieved an 89 % usability score. Further, by enabling a shift towards evidence-based practices and a relentless focus on supporting academic achievement and student persistence, the software is poised to completely reshape the higher education landscape.

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
