Abstract
Questo articolo presenta i risultati di una ricerca condotta su tre Comuni italiani e avente ad oggetto i sistemi di controllo dei servizi pubblici esternalizzati. Dopo aver presentato il mix di sistemi di controllo adottato dalle città, ne discute le possibili determinanti, ponendo in evidenza che il sistema di controllo nella realtà pubblica tiene in considerazione, oltre alle variabili normative e a quelle attinenti al tipo di attività da svolgere, anche quelle che riguardano la relazione fra i soggetti coinvolti nella prestazione del servizio (utente/cittadino, erogatore del servizio, Comune).<br/><br/>The paper presents the results of a research project investigating three Italian Municipalities and the mechanisms they put in place to control externalised public services. After analysing the mix of controls adopted by the Municipalities, the paper identifies and discusses their determinants, showing that control systems in public-sector organisations are strongly influenced not only by legal and task-related variables, but also by factors more directly associated with the relationship among the different parties involved in the service provision (namely, customer/citizen, service provider, Municipality).

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
