Abstract
Over the last decades and across the globe, subnational government has undergone significant reform. In many of these structural changes to the systems of local, urban and metropolitan governance, the roles of leaders and positions of leadership were at the core of the reform. One of the most prominent aims has been to give expression to a new ideal type of local political leadership and to increase the legitimacy and accountability of subnational government. The further proliferation of the directly elected mayor model is but one expression of this trend. However, the academic literature continues to struggle to capture the complexity and changing nature of subnational leadership. In response, the aim of this chapter is to analyze and discuss the changes in mayoral and executive leadership against the background of the available typologies for mayoral and executive models. In addition, the authors develop an agenda for further research

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
