Abstract
The infrastructure needs of Canada’s cities—both for new construction and the rehabilitation of existing infrastructure—are significant and growing. The current methods of financing, funding, delivering and maintaining urban infrastructure are insufficient and inadequate, as is evidenced by Canada’s mounting urban infrastructure debt. For this reason, municipal, provincial and federal governments together must begin using innovative tools that can provide expanded financial resources to increase the supply of infrastructure and leverage other policy objectives such as keeping demand for infrastructure in check. New Tools for New Times is a one stop shop for information on both traditional and innovative infrastructure financing, funding and delivery tools. The report also assesses the applicability of the tools to various types of urban infrastructure and the role of governments in advancing their use in Canada.

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
