Abstract
Culture and Perspectives on Sexual Assault Policy was a qualitative, focus-group study that deployed nationally and regionally defined samples of domestic and international students in Nova Scotia, Canada. The objective was to produce recommendations for culturally relevant university sexual violence policies and responses. We contribute to discussions about methodological advantages and disadvantages of country-as-culture sampling, suggesting the following: 1) National/regional sampling strategies may be particularly well suited to research topics impacted by national and international structures. 2) Resonance of national and/or regional categories among participants during qualitative data collection may validate this sampling strategy. 3) Researchers can offset stereotyping by highlighting perspectival heterogeneity within sampled groups. 4) Country as culture sampling may be complimented by strategies that engage other axes of identity. We suggest three such approaches: stakeholder consultations to identify additional groups relevant to the study, follow-up questionnaires and/or interviews, and reflection about groups that have not been included.

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
