Running pattern detector against the corpus
The dataset shows agreements whose current-amendment description shares few keywords with the original commitment — the contract has drifted from its initial purpose.
Glassbox surfaces correlations and observations, not findings of misconduct. Severity is a calibrated read on how strongly the dataset matches the pattern definition — a starting point for review, not a verdict.
The match meets the pattern threshold but the signal is the lower band. Normal review queue.
The match exceeds the routine threshold. Worth a closer look — pull the source rows, walk the citation.
The match is in the highest band of the calibrated scale. Recommend: prioritise for active review.
Severity is computed from the detection signal · Jaccard token similarity (initial.description, current.description) < 0.30 with ≥ 3 amendments · chains keyed per F-1 · signal = 1 − similarity
The dataset shows 5 amendments to record 217-2019-2020-Q2-00675 (Gitga'at First Nation|Gitga'at First Nation, Transport Canada | Transports Canada). Keyword overlap between the initial and current description is 14%; pattern consistent with amendment-purpose drift.
Why this may be benign · Departments periodically rewrite agreement descriptions to a house style or translate them; low keyword overlap can reflect editorial change rather than a change of purpose.
Once a match is identified, the dataset suggests these review actions. Glassbox does not prescribe outcomes — these are calibrated options for funders, auditors, and program officers, framed as correlations to investigate.
Low keyword overlap is a signal, not a verdict. The descriptions may have been rewritten using different vocabulary for the same scope. Read them in full before drawing conclusions.
If scope changed, re-procurement may have been required under the funder's procurement rules. Flag for legal/procurement review.
Drift + growth is a stronger signal than drift alone. Cross-reference with the sole-source-creep pattern.
These are calibrated suggestions, not directives. The dataset shows the pattern; the funder decides the response.
Aggregated from the matches below. Severity bands are calibrated per pattern; counts and dollar totals reflect this snapshot only.
The flag rests on these two published descriptions of the same agreement: the original row and the latest amendment row. Keyword overlap is 14%; the detector flags agreements with three or more amendments whose overlap is below 30%.

Through this 33-month project, Next Gen Men along with Shift: The Project to End Domestic Violence will help advance women’s recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes within encouraging women and girls in leadership and decision-making positions, ensuring their economic security and prosperity, and their experiences of gender-based violence. This will be achieved by engaging men and boys to combat harmful gender norms and advance gender equality beyond awareness-raising through convening and strengthening the pro-feminist men’s movement to collaboratively advance gender equality…

The Development of Second Generation UAVs for Precision Cargo Delivery
This project will be aimed at developing a broad family of UAVs - each with a unique set of characteristics and features. This R&D initiative will develop a family of second generation cargo UAV and Precision Guided Delivery (PGD) systems based on Mist Mobility Integrated Systems Technology Inc. successful CQ-10A Snowgoose UAV and Sherpa PGD Systems. These second generation systems represent a quantum increase in overall system endurance and cargo capability, and will maintain Mist Mobility Integrated Systems Technology Inc. lead in the marketplace.

The purpose of this project is to expand the scope of the field applications for the manufacturing of « Laboratoires sur puces en polymère ». To achieve this goal, it is required to conduct studies and experiments to validate the interactions of all the variables to be considered in the design of a mould in this area. This will be done through the establishment of a plan of experience with the establishment of variables for the study, as well as the measurement criteria with respect to the validation of objectives. The data collected will allow for the development knowledge as to the effect of each mould design variable for polymer chips "Laboratoires sur puces en polymère”.
