Abstract
In many countries a move towards performance-based codes has already begun with varying degrees of success. In Canada, the move is currently underway towards objective-based codes where the objectives are articulated around the acceptable solutions. In dealing with innovation as an alternate solution there will remain a complexity for verifying compliance. To compliment objective-based codes, the standards community could undertake the development of performance-based standards for an explicit 'intended use' which could be universal and apply to innovation as an alternate solution. This paper explores the benefits and complexity involved for developing performance-based standards for the intended use of a construction material or system. These standards would be universal and assist in product/system compliance verification for innovation meeting the code objectives.

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
