# Source literature boundary memo

## Research question

Across retrieved source-level receipts for supply_chain_resilience, which metrics, settings, or contrasts differ versus remain null/mixed, 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 heterogeneity map across firm-level, chain-level, and business-outcome receipts: direction-bearing evidence is limited to the stated downstream outcome, while firm performance is null/mixed; the contrast is between named outcome families, not support for the topic as a whole.

Evidence weight: this descriptive map rests on k=1 directional estimate, k=1 null/mixed receipt, and k=3 context/antecedent/model receipts; it shows metric heterogeneity, not a broad empirical disagreement. Falsifier/update: the directional the stated downstream outcome receipt would weaken if a matched setting and metric replication reports a null or negative association.

This receipt-backed scoping note is a descriptive metric-heterogeneity 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 evidence base k=1; null/mixed outcome receipts k=1; context/antecedent/model receipts k=3 excluded from effect support. Direction labels for audit: descriptive/modeling: 2 receipt(s) | null/mixed: 1 receipt(s) | antecedent/support: 1 receipt(s) | directional estimate: 1 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 heterogeneous policy/setting map, not a unified pooled economics claim. Substantive signal: direction-bearing evidence is limited to the stated downstream outcome; null/mixed receipts concern firm performance; antecedent/support receipts contextualize the stated downstream outcome; 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 estimate: Supply chain resilience and performance of manufacturing firms: role of supply chain disruption: Findings First, the study revealed that SCR has a significant positive effect on SCP; null/mixed: 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...; antecedent/support: Factors Affecting the Supply Chain Resilience and Supply Chain Performance: It was concluded that supply chain artificial intelligence, adaptive capability, and supply chain...; 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.

## Directional grouping

- directional estimate: supply_chain_resilience is the policy, exposure, method, or practice being measured; the label is not an efficacy verdict.
- antecedent/support: the receipt explains inputs, enablers, or context for the topic rather than a clean topic-to-outcome effect.
- reference/comparator contrast: supply_chain_resilience is the reference side of the extracted contrast; interpret only within that metric.
- economic/context only: the receipt reports cost, market, prevalence, policy, or institutional context rather than a policy-effect estimate.
- descriptive/modeling: the receipt reports modelling or prediction rather than a policy-effect estimate.
- null/mixed or other/mixed: the extracted finding is null, mixed, or not directionally interpretable.

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

- 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
- null/mixed: 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 hypotheses of a positive impact of supply chain visibility and supply chain resilience on firm performance have been rejected
- antecedent/support: Factors Affecting the Supply Chain Resilience and Supply Chain Performance — It was concluded that supply chain artificial intelligence, adaptive capability, and supply chain collaboration have a positive and significant influence on supply chain resilience and supply chain performance
- descriptive/modeling: The effect of supply chain resilience on supply chain performance of chemical industrial companies — method or modelling receipt; no direct effect estimate extracted
- directional estimate: Supply chain resilience and performance of manufacturing firms: role of supply chain disruption — Findings First, the study revealed that SCR has a significant positive effect on SCP

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 effect-direction heterogeneity; 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 directional/null conflict 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 mixing other source context.
