Abstract
Abstract The performance of the Bombardier TTS/Pittsburgh Signalling group has been evaluated twice: first in November 2003 and again in January 2006. The 2003 evaluation established a baseline for the evaluation of progress made in 2006. During those visits, the same evaluation method was used to evaluate project performance and organizational change management, i.e. the people issues. Since 2003, there has been substantial improvement in both process maturity level and process performance. This experience report, at Bombardier Transportation, illustrates that process performance improvements are achievable when two key factors are involved, namely: a link between business goals and process improvement activities, and a sponsor committing the right level of resources to the improvement program. This paper explains the multi‐dimensional methodology used to perform the evaluations, as well as the business goals and the quantitative performance improvements achieved since 2003.

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
