Abstract
Computer Aided Design (CAD) is an increasingly important aspect of the Interior Design curriculum.A glance through trade magazines reveals the high importance placed on CAD skills by employers.Not only that, but advances in CAD software means that as a tool of efficiency its benefits are becoming undeniable: the ability to correct and alter drawings is perhaps comparable to the word-processor revolution which swept away typewriters a quarter of a century ago.This said, the fact that hand drafting has not been totally supplanted by CAD despite technological advances is in part due to the complexity of drawing practice itself and also of the drafting programmes required to encompass this.Many students in the Interior Design department at London Metropolitan University, for instance, find CAD skills at best a difficult learning curve and at worst overwhelming.So , Nancy Yen-Wen Cheng's article Teaching CAD with Language Learning Methods (1997) holds out the prospect of a recognisable learning framework which could provide a pathway through the different levels of CAD skill acquisition.

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
