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.

An analysis of 1,800 Chinese startups from 2011 through 2020 reports that AI capabilities are associated with more innovative products and that lean-startup processes complement discovery-oriented and optimization-oriented AI through different product-development mechanisms.

Scope: publisher-deposited abstract metadata; universe and denominator: 1,800 Chinese startups; unit: startup product innovation; period: 2011–2020

The publisher preview investigates why firms vary in realizing product-innovation benefits from AI and connects AI use to lean-startup organizational practices.

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 Crossref metadata only; the blocked publisher surface was not retried.
  • Crossref supplies only a year and month for publication, so published_date is null rather than an invented day.
  • Full text was not inspected.
  • Publisher TOC preview abstract is truncated; full text was not inspected.
  • Special-issue membership is established by the issue heading.

Source independence
