Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canada's health systems remain vulnerable to supply disruptions due to overreliance on globally sourced health products and limited visibility into domestic manufacturing capacity. This study presents an empirically tested, artificial intelligence-enabled search platform designed to automate the sourcing of health products from Canadian companies. The platform enables supply chain teams to efficiently identify Canadian suppliers for health products, overcoming the lack of awareness of Canadian manufacturers of health products, and builds a "Canada First" supply chain strategy. The platform has the potential to identify Canadian suppliers, reduce the burden of manual searches, support jurisdictions seeking to diversify Canadian sources and prioritize economic growth.

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.

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.
