# 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.

## Boundary map

## Source synthesis

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


## Evidence matrix

Matrix guard: effect-bearing rows below are metric-specific source facts, not a pooled comparison; context-only rows are excluded from effect support.

This receipt-backed scoping note is a multi-outcome boundary map for supply_chain_resilience: policy/exposure estimates plus separate descriptive evidence across this 5-source primary bundle (2022-2023). Evidence role grouping: direction-bearing receipts: 2; metric-scope caveat receipts: 1; context/antecedent/model receipts: 2 excluded from effect support. Direction labels for audit: descriptive/modeling: 2 receipt(s) | metric-scope caveat: 1 receipt(s) | directional association: 2 receipt(s). The source facts cover 4 population/setting context(s) and 1 policy/exposure/practice context(s), so this is a scoping signal about where metrics diverge, without establishing a causal, policy-prescriptive, market-generalized, or pooled econometric claim. 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. Substantive signal: direction-bearing evidence is limited to the stated downstream outcome; metric-scope caveat receipts concern firm performance; descriptive/modeling receipts only contextualize business outcome, the stated downstream outcome. Within-vs-across outcome rule: direction-bearing rows are only compared within their named metric; firm-performance, supply-chain performance, and modelling receipts are not treated as one outcome. Outcome families named here are firm-level, chain-level, and business-outcome; this is not one harmonized SCR-to-performance 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.

## 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.
- 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: 2; metric-scope caveat receipts: 1; context/antecedent/model receipts: 2 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 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.
