To resubmit, address

1. Resolve the structural inconsistency between the 5-source bundle and the 2-receipt effect-bearing framing: either expand the effect-bearing matrix to include all receipts with honest effect-role labels, or narrow the bundle to the 2 truly effect-bearing receipts and move the other 3 to a separate excluded bundle.
2. Justify or remove the 'business-outcome' anchor from the title and signal statement, given the automotive AHP-VIKOR receipt carries no extracted effect estimate.
3. Correct the policy/exposure field for the chemical industrial companies receipt to match its actual topic (supply chain resilience effect, not AI antecedents).
4. Clarify whether the memo is a scoping map (acceptable) or a directional synthesis (needs matched design) — the current text hedges between these framings without committing.

Major issues

• The boundary map classification is internally inconsistent: the 'Effect-bearing comparison' table separates firm-level and chain-level outcomes, yet the abstract and synthesis claim k=1 directional receipt and k=1 caveat receipt, while bundling 5 receipts as the evidence base. The two-receipt effect framing is at odds with the 5-source bundle presented, creating contradictory structural claims about what counts as effect-bearing evidence.
• The 'Bounded signal' language claims an 'unmatched metric-scope map' but the evidence matrix mixes automotive, chemical, general firms, and manufacturing contexts without clearly justifying why these are comparable for a scoping map vs. why they cannot support even a descriptive direction claim across contexts.
• The title promises a 'firm-level, chain-level, and business-outcome' map, but only 2 effect-bearing rows are provided against 3 context-only rows, and the business-outcome category (automotive AHP-VIKOR) is explicitly labeled as no direct effect estimate extracted — making the 'business-outcome' anchor in the title weakly supported.

Minor issues

• Several entries have policy/exposure/practice fields that appear copied from other rows (e.g., 'AI, adaptive capability, and collaboration antecedents' appears under the chemical industrial companies receipt, which is inconsistent with its topic).
• The 'Population/setting: firms' label in the Impacts receipt is generic and should specify country/sample if available.
• Evidence role definitions section overlaps with the abstract; some redundancy between abstract and Evidence Landscape section.
• Routing domain metadata appears in the boundary limits without clear interpretive purpose.

Reviewer note

This alpha-memo attempts a source-grounded boundary map for supply chain resilience across 5 receipts spanning firm-level, chain-level, and business-outcome metrics. The source bundle is recent (2022–2023), topic-coherent, and includes DOIs for all entries, which supports source_grounding at 4. The limitations section is concrete about k=5 size, no pooling, and context heterogeneity (limitations_quality=4), and next gaps are specific and actionable (gaps_quality=4). Research question is reasonably specific (4). However, the memo suffers from internal inconsistency between its 5-source bundle and its 2-receipt effect-bearing framing. The title and 'Bounded signal' statement promise a three-way map (firm-level, chain-level, business-outcome), but the business-outcome anchor (automotive AHP-VIKOR) has no extracted effect estimate, making the third leg of the map essentially absent. Additionally, the chemical industrial companies receipt appears to have a policy/exposure field copy-pasted from the AI/collaboration antecedent paper. These are fixable structural issues rather than scope-reset problems, so the correct triage is revise with bounded edits: (1) reconcile the 5-vs-2 receipt framing, (2) decide whether the business-outcome category earns its place in the title, (3) correct the misattributed policy/exposure fields, and (4) commit to either a scoping-map or directional-synthesis framing. Claims are hedged appropriately (overclaim=mild), and no clinical/policy/investment overclaims are present. The memo does not attempt pooled estimation, which is the right call given the heterogeneous contexts. With the structural fixes above, this could reach accept quality.
