Abstract
The first quarter of 2004 found French public research laboratories in unprecedented turmoil, partly from the budget cuts made since 2002, and partly from 550 permanent civil service jobs being turned into fixed-term contract appointments. It is this latter minimal cost-saving measure around which the debate has crystallized. For the government, it reflected an aim to see greater diversification in the employment statuses of research personnel, so as to “add more flexibility” into the system. For researchers, it marked an abrupt worsening of the crisis in employment of young researchers: offering postdoctoral graduates the same pay as a tenured postholder, but without the job security was fated to reduce the appeal of public research. Also, the measure followed the scrapping of the 2001 “Schwartzenberg plan” for a substantial phased increase in the recruitment of researchers to counter the retirement outflow expected from 2006-2012, and a similar Jospin-Lang plan for higher education.

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
