Abstract
ABSTRACT Cirque du Soleil is one of the most imaginative and unique shows every created. The brainchild of Guy Laliberté, Cirque has gone from an idea on the busking streets of Quebec, Canada to an International phenomenon with more than 30 shows worldwide, viewed by in excess of 180 million spectators and generating in excess of $1Billion in sales annually. The shows range from touring shows such as Toruk, a tribute to Avatar, to KA; an Asian themed martial art offering staged as a permanent show in Las Vegas, United States. Cirque du Soleil has also been a cornerstone example of the classic Blue Ocean Strategy combining two red oceans to create a new blue ocean. In Las Vegas, Cirque du Soleil offers seven permanent shows; possibly generating its own red ocean. The current paper will examine KA from the perspective of blue ocean strategy to determine if KA is in fact is a Blue Ocean itself within the larger Cirque du Soleil Blue Ocean and evaluate the sustainability of KA in Las Vegas. Keywords Blue Ocean Strategy, Las Vegas, Cirque du Soleil

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.
