Private 10,000-vehicle development sample
The next inspection, in sample context
The research question is intentionally narrow: predict whether a returning vehicle's next inspection episode has a first-attempt non-pass. Non-pass combines fail, reject, and abort.
Dashboard data is unavailable
The approved aggregate files could not be validated. No estimates are being shown.
Sample association over time
Observed first-attempt non-pass trend
Partial periods and source changes are called out when present.
Feed availability
County coverage
Availability only—this is not a county outcome ranking. Teal feeds are represented in the sample; gray counties are unavailable, not zero.
Sample association by age
Observed non-pass rate by vehicle age
Sample aggregates only, without confidence intervals. The pattern is descriptive and not a population estimate or causal effect.

Model & benchmark
Calibrated logistic regression is the final development-prototype model for the next-episode first-attempt non-pass target. The boosted tree is retained only as a benchmark.
Model diagnostics unavailable
The approved diagnostic summary could not be validated.
Calibrated logistic regression
The selected model for the research conclusion and any prototype-level discussion. Platt scaling calibrates its probabilities.

No vehicle-level prediction service
This static dashboard serves supported aggregate sample rates and diagnostic summaries only. It contains no vehicle lookup, personal inputs, operational connection, or row-level prediction output.
- Returning-vehicle next-episode target only
- First attempt; pass versus non-pass
- Final model: calibrated logistic regression
- Boosted tree: benchmark only

Data & methods
How episodes, labels, temporal evaluation, coverage limits, and privacy controls shape every published result.
Live diagnostics unavailable
Static methodology remains below; no performance values are being shown.
Prediction unit
The first attempt of the next inspection episode. Attempts no more than 30 days apart form one episode.
Binary target
Pass versus non-pass. Non-pass combines fail, reject, and abort; blanks and unrecognized outcomes are not labels.
Point-in-time features
Every history window ends before the target episode. Current-test results, diagnostics, stations, and later attempts are excluded.
Availability by source era
Coverage timeline
The slc and slco labels are source eras for Salt Lake County, not separate physical counties.
No random row split
Chronological evaluation
Historical events establish prior context. The 2025 development-sample holdout was evaluated once after model choices were frozen, so it is no longer a pristine final test. A later complete-data run is confirmatory; the partial 2026 feed is monitoring only.

Evidence status
- Calibrated logistic regression is the declared final prototype model.
- The boosted tree remains a benchmark only.
- Published diagnostics cover train, tune, and calibration partitions.
- No locked-test result or population performance claim is published.
Interpret with care
Known limitations
- Participating inspection feeds do not cover all 29 counties.
- Feed and program changes can resemble real-world trends.
- The 10,000-vehicle draw retained 9,996 vehicles; page sampling can over-represent vehicles with more inspection records.
- Reject and abort can reflect process or readiness issues.
- Association is not causation or a mechanical diagnosis.
