Abstract
Hydrological modelling efforts tend to ignore the impacts of lakes or explicitly simulate the behavior of only the largest lakes in a watershed as deriving information required to explicitly represent thousands of lakes is difficult. We introduce an open-source GIS toolbox (BasinMaker) that can efficiently build vector-based hydrological routing networks including an arbitrary number of rivers and lakes, with attributes (e.g., network topology, subbasin and lake geometry, channel characteristics) that provide the inputs required for hydrological routing models. BasinMaker functionality is demonstrated to build two high-resolution vector-based lake-river routing products each defining a collection of routing networks across large regions: the North American Lake-River Routing and Ontario Lake-River Routing Products. Each includes all lakes over 10 ha identified in the HydroLAKES dataset. BasinMaker is unique in terms of lake representation and is especially helpful for modelers who need to explicitly represent numerous lakes in their watershed simulation models.

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
