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 abstract develops a theory of the firm in which inexpensive AI-generated cognitive work remains constrained by verification cost and responsibility for errors.

confidence: high ssrn-abstract-page apw-e1-ssrn-backfill

Scope: abstract-level theory

The framework places ex ante specification, ex post verification, and liability management in a governor-executor-verifier architecture and treats safe throughput rather than raw generation as the relevant organizational performance concept.

confidence: high ssrn-abstract-page apw-e1-ssrn-backfill

Scope: abstract-level governance and organizational-design contribution

At inspection time, the public Organizations & Markets: Formal & Informal Structures all-years search for artificial intelligence displayed this work among 50 postings.

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 and no PDF was downloaded.
  • O&M membership is evidenced by the retained public Formal & Informal Structures listing result. Its result URL is session-contextual and omits the journal_id; the retained bytes display the exact family label, query, and 50-posting denominator.
  • The abstract page is all-rights-reserved with no reuse without permission; the record paraphrases only.
