Abstract
Abstract Industrial and innovation policies enshrine geographic assumptions that are usually implicit, such as a spatial hierarchy of jurisdictions, a spatialized understanding of their likely impact, and a territorial view of stakeholders. For policies to succeed, these implicit assumptions need to align across stakeholders and be compatible with spatial practices. This is particularly the case for New Industrial Policies, which seek to re-shore strategic knowledge-based industries: these policies necessarily involve development in specific regions, and involve local, national, community, private and public stakeholders. In this paper, we study Technum Québec's innovation zone initiative in Bromont. We document and analyse how tensions are emerging as the province's understanding of the geographic processes and impacts of research-led semi-conductor development is misaligned with the spatial practices of corporations, universities and research centres, and does not take full account of the effect this policy, if successful, may have on local communities.

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
