Core Components

These pages document the building blocks that power quantifiers and
optimization workflows, grouped by role.

Building blocks of a quantifier
===============================

The pieces a matching quantifier composes — a *representation*, a *loss*, and a
*solver* — plus the compose framework that wires them together.

Multiclass and output handling
==============================

How binary methods scale to multiclass problems, and how the resulting prevalence
estimates are normalised and formatted.
