Abstract
Amid geopolitical uncertainties, countries adopt new industrial policies to reshore strategic industries. Simultaneously, rising political discontent underscores the importance of intra-national industrial location. Within this context, we introduce the concept of strategic regional path development, a mechanism for (supra-)national industrial capacity-building based on top-down government interventions. Using a semiconductor innovation zone (Technum Quebec, innovation zone) as a case study, we find that while the innovation zone is driven by national objectives, the region is mobilised instrumentally (regional dynamics are secondary) and rhetorically (regional development narrative aligns actors). Ultimately, success depends on reconciling perspectives on the innovation zone’s purpose across policymaking levels and actors.

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
