# Source literature boundary memo

## Research question

Across retrieved source-level receipts for supply_chain_resilience, which metrics, settings, or contrasts carry directional support versus caveat evidence, and what matched design remains untested?

## Selection criteria

The source-literature selector kept supply_chain_resilience because the candidate bundle met the public source rule: 5 citable papers, 5 distinct fact-backed source identities, topic-overlapping source facts, and enough shared scope to compare metric/context disagreement. It excludes duplicate reports, metadata-only title matches, off-topic papers, and sources without fact-level extraction before treating the bundle as a coherent scoping front rather than proof of a policy or market conclusion.

## Source synthesis

Bounded signal: supply chain resilience is a multi-outcome boundary map across firm-level, chain-level, and business-outcome receipts: direction-bearing evidence is limited to the stated downstream outcome, while firm performance is the caveat outcome; the contrast is between named outcome families, not support for the topic as a whole.

Evidence weight: this bounded scope rests on k=1 directional association, k=1 caveat receipt, and k=3 context/antecedent/model receipts; it keeps metric-specific support separate from broader business outcomes. Falsifier/update: the directional-association the stated downstream outcome receipt would weaken if a matched setting and metric replication reports a weaker or opposite association.

Audit note: effect-bearing rows stay metric-specific; context/antecedent/model rows are excluded from effect support and no rows are pooled.

## Evidence role definitions

- directional association: supply_chain_resilience is the policy, exposure, method, or practice linked to the named metric; the label is not an effect-size estimate or efficacy verdict.
- antecedent/support: the receipt explains inputs, enablers, or context for the topic rather than a clean topic-to-outcome effect.
- descriptive/modeling: the receipt reports modelling or prediction rather than a policy-effect estimate.
- firm-performance caveat: the receipt constrains the directional scope to the named metric rather than the full business outcome set.

Evidence role summary: direction-bearing evidence base k=1; business-outcome caveat receipts k=1; context/antecedent/model receipts k=3 excluded from effect support.

Specific moderators in this bundle are outcome type (business outcome; firm performance; supply chain resilience), population/indication (firms), study design/evidence type (primary).

## Context separation

Population/settings are separated as receipt context: automotive firms, chemical industrial companies, firms, and manufacturing firms. The selected receipts group because each carries a fact-level extraction for supply_chain_resilience; they separate by context (other source context) and metric, so they are not interchangeable evidence for one pooled claim.

## Boundary limits

Source-literature boundary for supply_chain_resilience: the listed sources define one bounded, context-dependent signal across separate source contexts. This memo does not claim causality, policy prescription, a pooled elasticity estimate, or a market-generalized effect across the sources.
 Material limitations: small k=5 source bundle; no pooled estimate is possible; method/model receipts without direct effect estimates are context only; outcomes are not harmonized across studies.
 The signal is purely descriptive of source-level direction and scope; it cannot support a causal, policy-prescriptive, or pooled elasticity inference, and pooling across these designs would be inappropriate.
 Routing domain `business_research` is publication-lane metadata only; the source scope here is defined by the selected supply_chain_resilience receipts.

## Next gaps

Resolve the metric-scope caveat by retesting the stated downstream outcome and firm performance inside one matched industry, comparator, and metric frame before generalizing the directional receipts.
A stronger memo needs one matched design: one setting, one policy/exposure, one comparator/reference group, and one named metric.
If supply_chain_resilience is promoted beyond a scoping note, the next run should select sources sharing one context family rather than spanning other source context.
