Abstract
Public administration scholars have contributed little to the explosion of research on aging in Canada by examining the implications of population aging for public organizations in general and government service delivery in particular. Studies dealing with the impact of innovations in information technology (IT) on services to seniors are especially rare. This paper aims to help remedy this deficiency by examining government service delivery to seniors, with primary attention to the impact of current and anticipated advances in IT. Public administration scholars can learn a great deal from other academic disciplines about government service delivery to seniors. What is missing is research that sets aging within the specific theoretical, conceptual and practical concerns of the field of public administration, contributes to cross-

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
