Abstract
Many foundations across the world are increasingly interested in systems change. In the framewor of the SIX Funders Node's activities, 22 foundations and systems change experts have been brought together in September 2016 for a retreat on Wasan Island, in the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada. Despite coming from different countries and focus areas, the participants were united in their curiosity and desire to create systemic impact. While the retreat drew on global thinking and case studies, it was rooted in practice and provided a unique and focused opportunity for foundations working on systems change, or moving towards systems chance. The purpose of this report is to highlight the learning from that retreat; and to help nurture the emerging community of foundations working in systems change by codifying and sharing examples and practices from the pioneers and early adopters of this approach.

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
