Review decision

To resubmit, address

1. Reclassify the Sajol 2022 receipt honestly: either treat it as a joint SCR+SCP directional estimate (and revise the 'firm performance is the only null' framing) or split its findings across outcomes and flag the imprecision.
2. Clarify whether the 'heterogeneity map' is a substantive signal about outcome families or a descriptive audit of receipt-level classifications; align the title accordingly.
3. Resolve the contradiction between excluding descriptive/modeling receipts from effect support and using them within the heterogeneity contrast — either remove them from the contrast or mark them as context-only throughout.
4. State explicitly that k=2 directional / k=1 null is a bundle-level audit count, not a substantive effect-size comparison across outcomes.

Major issues

• Outcome-family mixing inflates the heterogeneity claim: the memo groups 'supply chain resilience,' 'supply chain performance,' and 'firm performance' as separable outcome families to preserve the k=2 directional / k=1 null contrast, but the source bundle does not actually separate these — several papers (e.g., Sajol 2022; JMTM 2023) explicitly link SCR to SCP. The 'heterogeneity map' framing depends on treating harmonized relationships as unrelated outcomes, which weakens the substantive signal.
• The Sajol 2022 receipt is misclassified: it is labeled a directional estimate, but its finding ('positive and significant influence on supply chain resilience and supply chain performance') actually bundles SCR and SCP as joint outcomes, which contradicts the memo's claim that firm-performance direction is the only null and that SCR direction is uniformly positive. The classification scheme is doing analytical work the source does not support.
• The 'descriptive/modeling' label is applied to two receipts (Systems 2023; USCM 2022) that are classified as method/model only, yet the memo still uses them as part of the contrast structure. Excluding them from effect support while retaining them in the heterogeneity map is internally inconsistent and should be stated more cleanly.

Minor issues

• Title is process-oriented ('heterogeneity map across firm-level, chain-level, and business-outcome receipts') rather than stating the actual bounded research signal, making the artifact harder to index.
• The 'concrete contrast' paragraph repeats verbatim phrasing from receipts without adding interpretive value; could be compressed.
• The evidence_role labels are defined but the assignment for the Sajol 2022 receipt is contestable — its finding is a joint SCR+SCP directional estimate, not a clean single-outcome direction.
• Directional grouping section is partially redundant with the source synthesis section.

Reviewer note

The memo is honest about its scoping nature and correctly avoids causal/policy claims, which is good. Source grounding is solid: all five cited DOIs match the named titles and years, and findings are quoted from abstracts/titles without obvious fabrication. Limitations and next gaps are specific and actionable. The core analytical weakness is that the 'heterogeneity map' signal depends on treating SCR, SCP, and firm performance as separable outcome families, while at least two of the five receipts (Sajol 2022; JMTM 2023) explicitly bundle SCR with SCP as joint outcomes. This makes the claim that 'directional receipts support supply chain resilience; null/mixed receipts limit firm performance' partly an artifact of the classification scheme rather than a clean finding from the bundle. Additionally, the memo excludes two receipts from effect support while still deploying them in the contrast structure. The artifact is salvageable with bounded edits: reclassify the Sajol receipt, align the title with the actual signal, and tighten the contrast logic. Recommend revise.
