Abstract
The Burlington Skyway is a major bridge in Southern Ontario, Canada. Leaking deck joints allowed chloride-contaminated water to spill onto the concrete piers below and initiate corrosion of the reinforcing steel. In 1989, the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) authorized a demonstration of the electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE) process. After monitoring the pilot installation for eight years, MTO proceeded to implement the ECE process on a major Burlington Skyway rehabilitation project in 1997 and other projects thereafter. After 30 years, the ECE-treated areas are in good condition and appear to have significantly extended the service life of this major highway substructure.

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
