Recorded claims

Each claim states what the inspected source says, at the recorded location—bounded by its scope and graded by its confidence. Nothing here is a synthesis across works.

The paper conceptualizes commercial algorithmic-management systems as commodified, outsourced authority in which technology vendors that design, sell, or operate managerial systems share portions of employer authority over employees.

Scope: Interdisciplinary theoretical model combining legal theory, organizational studies, and social computing; no empirical sample, period, or denominator

Structured relationships

Boundaries

Limitations & independence

Recorded at coding time, carried with the work forever. A claim without its limits is not evidence.

Recorded limitations

  • Abstract-level evidence only; full text and PDFs were not inspected.
  • The shared-authority model is theoretical and is not empirically tested on the abstract page.
  • The abstract does not define the range of vendors or employment settings to which the model is intended to generalize.

Source independence
