Abstract
This commentary delves into fasdNL's innovative work in establishing a comprehensive diagnostic network for fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). Although unparalleled in its complexity, FASD remains a persistently underdiagnosed and under-resourced lifelong condition. fasdNL, a community-based non-profit organization in NL, has significantly enhanced diagnostic capabilities and training for healthcare professionals, streamlined referral assessments, and addressed persistent gaps in FASD evaluation. The creation of fasdNL’s Diagnostic Network represents a significant step forward in improving FASD diagnosis and support within the province. fasdNL’s training program is grounded in the principles of Inter-Professional Health Education (IPHE), designed to foster collaboration among diverse health professionals. By emphasizing the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to FASD diagnosis, the initiative enhances clinicians' capacity to work collaboratively in line with the Canadian FASD Diagnostic Guidelines. This training model not only improves diagnostic capacity but also promotes inter-professional practice by encouraging knowledge exchange and collaborative decision-making among healthcare providers. Further, it underscores the crucial role and potential of community organizations in addressing collaborative assessment and diagnostic processes by building on existing capacities within their regions.

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
