We compare handcrafted features, frozen transformer embeddings, and ensembles across three item types and two regimes, testing pooled versus specialist models on a gaming detection task. Ensembles perform best (ROC-AUC 0.95, 𝜅=0.75), except for rarest item type under unseen prompts. Labels reflect review detections, motivating reference-conditioned recall and blind re-review.
