Primes

• Adaptive Radiation
  • In industry it is the fan-out following a platform release: the PC software industry into thousands of application niches after the open IBM PC, the mobile app ecosystem after the smartphone SDK, the SaaS startup ecosystem after cloud computing, the application fan-out after foundation-model release.

    This sourceTreats industry platforms (PC, mobile, cloud) as foundations on which a business ecosystem of complementors fans out into differentiated niches, the platform-driven analogue of adaptive-radiation fan-out.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    The abstract supplies the general platform-to-ecosystem fan-out principle (industry platforms as foundations for complementors), but none of the claim's four named fan-out episodes or its scale language.

    “We define external (industry) platforms as products, services, or technologies that act as a foundation upon which external innovators, organized as an innovative business ecosystem, can develop their own complementary products, technologies, or services.”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
