Abstract
Alberta Transportation is in the process of developing an expert system that will support the department's bridge management functions. The system's primary objectives are to facilitate consistent and accurate decisions to optimize the allocation of bridge funds, evaluate system performance, and plan and manage bridge construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance actions. The Bridge Expert Analysis and Decision Support (BEADS) system will be a major component of a larger departmentwide integrated Transportation Infrastructure Management System (TIMS) and will routinely interact with the corporate data repository and other TIMS components. In addition to improvement needs related to condition and functionality, the BEADS system will respond to highway network expansion plans and socioeconomic decisions. The BEADS system consists of individual modules that address bridge structure elements and functional limitations. These include the Substructure, Superstructure, Paint, Strength, Bridge Rail, Bridge Width, Vertical Clearance, Replacement, and Culvert Modules. On the basis of existing and predicted condition and functionality states, the modules identify potential work activities, including their timing and cost, throughout the economic life cycle. The Strategy Builder Module then assembles and groups the identified work activities into feasible life-cycle strategies. A life-cycle cost analysis ranks the strategies. Once the project-level analysis results have been determined, a network-level analysis may be performed to facilitate short-term programming, analysis of long-range budget scenarios, evaluation of network status, and assessment of the impact of policy decisions.

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
