Abstract
Many organizations have budgets that expire at the end of the year and they may face \nincentives to rush to spend resources on projects at the year-end. We are testing this \nhypothesis using data from Ukraine’s and Canada’s state budgets for 2013-2017. Budget \nexpenditures for the last quarter of the fiscal year exceed the average and for the first quarter \nthey are lower than they should be on average. It is known that the in Ukraine a budget \npolicy became a state policy only in the 90s. Until that it was a part of the centralized \nbudget policy of the USSR. \nAfter the declaration of independence, Ukraine started to introduce the scientific \nsubstantiation and practical implementation of decisions and measures aimed at improving \nthe performance of a budget policy, so it is important to study the nature of this policy in \norder to use the positive experience of the developed countries.

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
