Abstract
UTOMOTIVE rules of origin have been some of the most contentious issues in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deliberations between the twelve TPP countries-Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam.Automotive rules of origin determine the percentage of cars or car parts (such as engines or transmissions) that have to originate in a treaty-region to receive preferential tariff treatment. 1 The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the United States, Canada, and Mexico 2 also has automotive rules of origin that have allowed car and car parts markets to flourish in the NAFTA region. 3 With that in mind, the United States, Canada, and Mexico (as parties to the TPP) had a keen interest during TPP negotiations to ensure that the TPP automotive rules of origin-which, if ratified by Congress, will supersede NAFTA's automotive rules of origin 4 -remain favorable to NAFTA countries.

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
