Abstract
About ten years ago, the City of Toronto Archives faced a huge challenge.Something had to be done with the thousands of building permit application plans that had been submitted to the City's Building Department over the years.These plans had been mounting since the Great Fire of 1904 that had devastated a large section of downtown Toronto.With fire comes renewal, and since 1904, Toronto had seen an enormous amount of building.The Great Fire had an additional effect.It prompted City officials to institute a comprehensive new by-law to regulate building construction.One of its principal goals was to prevent wildcat fires from spreading from one tinderbox to the next; hence the shift in preferred building materials from wood to brick, and the increased emphasis on planning and regulation to prevent urban congestion.Toronto grew rapidly in the early twentieth century, and the City annexed many formerly remote areas to feed the demand for more land.A construction boom accompanied the increase in municipal boundaries.Along with each request for a building permit, be it for a new factory, school, church, house, or even a

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
