Primes¶
- Silence as Signal
- Operations and software. Silent dissatisfaction never formalised as a complaint, and bugs never filed because abandoning the product is cheaper than reporting, leave management reading absence as satisfaction or quality. Surveys and elections. Non-respondents and non-voters are absent from the record; assuming they resemble respondents, or optimising to the voting population's preferences, biases inference and policy.
This sourceEstablishes that survey non-respondents may differ systematically from respondents, biasing inference if absence is treated as resemblance.

Mechanisms¶
- Stakeholder Survey
- Its failure mode is non-response bias — the people who answer differ systematically from those who do not, so the distribution quietly tilts toward the reachable and the motivated even when the raw numbers look clean.
This sourceExplains that nonresponse bias arises when response propensity is systematically related to survey outcomes.

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? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
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.
