# 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 performance has directional support for supply chain performance, while firm performance is null or non-convergent across business-outcome, chain-level, and firm-level. That supports a narrow scoping contrast, not support for the topic as a whole.

This receipt-backed scoping note is a multi-outcome boundary map for supply_chain_resilience_performance: policy/exposure estimates plus separate descriptive evidence across this 5-source primary bundle (2022-2023). Evidence role grouping: direction-bearing receipts: 3; metric-scope caveat receipts: 1; context/antecedent/model receipts: 1 excluded from effect support. The source facts cover 4 population/setting context(s) and 1 policy/exposure/practice context(s), so this is a multi-outcome scoping map about where outcomes/metrics diverge, without establishing a causal, policy-prescriptive, market-generalized, or pooled econometric claim. Metric imbalance disclosure: supply chain performance has directional support across 3 receipt(s), while firm performance is represented by one caveat/null receipt. The caveat is a scoping constraint, not a strong null claim. Population/setting counts are context descriptors only; they are not weighting, pooling, or aggregation evidence. The listed estimates remain source-specific across metrics and settings; they are not pooled or averaged. This is a separated policy/setting map, not a unified pooled economics claim. Named setting scope includes automotive firms, chemical industrial companies, firms, and manufacturing firms. Substantive signal: direction-bearing evidence is limited to supply chain performance; metric-scope caveat receipts concern firm performance; descriptive/modeling receipts only contextualize business outcome. Context-only classification: business outcome is retained as adjacent source context, not direction-bearing support, because it does not share the directional metric set (supply chain performance). Coverage balance: supply chain performance (3 of 3 direction-bearing receipts) is represented more than once; that is a scope imbalance to disclose, not stronger evidence for the topic. Within-vs-across outcome rule: direction-bearing rows are only compared within supply chain performance; unrelated receipt families are not treated as one outcome. Outcome families named here are supply chain performance; this is not one harmonized endpoint. Concrete contrast: directional association: Factors Affecting the Supply Chain Resilience and Supply Chain Performance: It was concluded that supply chain artificial intelligence, adaptive capability, and supply chain...; metric-scope caveat: The Impacts of Supply Chain Capabilities, Visibility, Resilience on Supply Chain Performance and Firm Performance: The research findings reveal that visibility significantly influences supply chain resilience; while the...; descriptive/modeling: Evaluating Supply Resilience Performance of an Automotive Industry during Operational Shocks: A Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP-VIKOR-Based Approach: method or modelling receipt; no direct effect estimate extracted.

Audit note: effect-bearing rows stay metric-specific; context-only rows are excluded from effect support; role counts below keep direction-bearing, metric-scope caveat, and context-only receipts separate.

## Evidence role definitions

- directional association: source-level direction with design caveat; supply_chain_resilience_performance is the policy, exposure, method, or practice linked to the named metric, not a pooled effect-size estimate or efficacy verdict.
- descriptive/modeling: the receipt reports modelling or prediction rather than a policy-effect estimate.
- metric-scope caveat: the receipt constrains the directional scope to the named metric rather than the broader outcome set.

Evidence role summary: direction-bearing receipts: 3; metric-scope caveat receipts: 1; context/antecedent/model receipts: 1 excluded from effect support.
Direction labels for audit: descriptive/modeling: 1 receipt(s) | metric-scope caveat: 1 receipt(s) | directional association: 3 receipt(s).

Specific moderators in this bundle are outcome type (business outcome; firm performance; scp; supply chain performance), 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_performance: the listed sources define separate outcome-specific signals across multiple metric families. This memo does not claim causality, policy prescription, a pooled elasticity estimate, or a market-generalized effect across the sources.
 Material limitations: small 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.
 Effect-support accounting: 1 of 5 receipt(s) is context/modeling-only and contributes no effect estimate; 3 receipt(s) are direction-bearing and 1 receipt(s) are metric-scope caveats.

## Next gaps

Resolve the coverage imbalance by adding or swapping receipts so supply chain performance is not over-represented relative to the other named metrics inside the same scoping map.
Resolve the metric-scope caveat by retesting supply chain performance 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_performance is promoted beyond a scoping note, the next run should select sources sharing one context family rather than spanning other source context.
