Abstract
How can Canadian construction codes better accommodate innovation? That is one question members of the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes asked themselves when they prepared a strategic plan in 1995. New technologies, materials, and construction methods appear in the market faster than the National Building Code (first published in 1941), National Plumbing Code, and National Fire Code can absorb in their five-year publication cycle. The Commission members concluded that a clearer description of the objective and intent of each code requirement ' what it is intended to achieve ' would facilitate the evaluation of technologies, materials and methods that differ from those specifically described in the codes. Thus, accommodation of innovative solutions was one of several reasons that the Commission decided to convert the national codes to a new format called 'objective-based.'

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
