Abstract
The three lane Lions' Gate Suspension Bridge is a landmark structure in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The 472 meter center span marks the entrance to one of the busiest harbours on the west coast of North America. Constructed in 1938, the bridge was privately financed, and as such, long term durability was often sacrificed in favor of initial capital cost savings. In 1997, Buckland & Taylor Ltd. was retained to design the replacement of the entire suspended structure (deck, sidewalks, stiffening trusses, and suspension hangers). Maintaining the traffic (70,000 vehicles per day) on the bridge during the replacement was a critical requirement that influenced every aspect of the design. After the design was completed in December 1998, the project was tendered. Between September 2000 and September 2001, the suspended structure of the 60-year old bridge was replaced during 10-hour night time closures plus a few longer closures on weekends. The bridge was open to full traffic at all other times during the reconstruction. The final paving was applied in the summer of 2002. This project is believed to be the first time an entire suspended structure has been replaced while traffic continued to use the bridge each day. The result is a wider, safer, more durable suspended structure that blends seamlessly with the aesthetics of the remaining original portions of the bridge.

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.
