Abstract
In 2017, the three signatories of NAFTA — Canada, Mexico and the United States — agreed to update the agreement to include a new “digital trade chapter.†The renegotiation of NAFTA presents a continent-wide opportunity to encourage new sectors built on cross-border data flows, while simultaneously preserving domestic policy space to regulate such sectors. Canada, Mexico and the United States can make NAFTA the first digital economy trade agreement. All three nations should agree to: →→ clarify the rules governing crossborder data flows; →→ encourage the free flow of information and protect personal data, while also promoting internet openness and stability; and →→ address new technologies as well as future trade barriers by including language that is technologically neutral (for example, not favouring specific technologies or regulatory approaches)

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
