Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Surveys are more than just a tool to measure donor satisfaction and preferences — they are a powerful entryway to deeper and more meaningful relationships with supporters. Catherine Cornish, Director of Leadership & Legacy Giving at Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation can attest. A few years ago she administered a survey to assess interest in legacy giving, but the responses she received revealed much more. “[The survey] included space for the donor to share a story about their connection to Royal Columbian Hospital,” she explains. “I received stories about how the hospital had saved their lives, and how healthcare providers gave comfort to a loved one during their final days. These were stories of life-changing experiences.” The common touchpoint initiated many transformative conversations. “Multiple times, a follow up call turned into a visit, a visit turned into a gift, and a gift turned into a legacy gift,” she adds.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
