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.

A sustainable-business crowdsourcing challenge attracted 125 global solvers and produced 234 solutions; 300 evaluators each judged a randomized set of 13 solutions, creating 3,900 evaluator-solution pairs. Human-AI solutions matched human-only solutions on creativity and scored higher on value, while human-only solutions scored higher on innovation on average and among highly novel outcomes.

Scope: Universe and denominators: 125 solvers, 234 solutions, 300 evaluators, 13 assigned solutions per evaluator, and 3,900 evaluator-solution pairs; unit: solution/evaluator pair; period: not displayed.

Structured relationships

In-corpus citations

Only source-supplied cites relationships whose two endpoints are admitted are shown. Invocation evidence remains a separate relationship.

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 was not inspected.
  • The abstract does not display condition-specific solution counts, rating scales, effect sizes, uncertainty, study period, or how prompt-engineering choices affect generalization.
  • The retained author page displays a 2024-07-12 revision date while the retained abstract page displays 2024-03-29; the conflict is preserved.
