Primes¶
- Unreliable Narrator
- The same structure ports in several other directions. Publication-bias correction into executive report translation: the meta-analytic move of estimating the file-drawer — what failed studies went unreported — maps onto the managerial move of estimating the unreported red items behind an optimistic status report. Source-triangulation in journalism into multi-witness reasoning in juries: the heuristic that two independent sources agreeing beats one source repeated transfers without modification, because independence of distortion is what the inversion's uncertainty depends on in both. Narrative criticism into forensic interview design: the literary practice of identifying what an unreliable narrator cannot see — their structural blind spots — maps onto the cognitive-interview practice of probing what a witness would not have noticed. Survey response-bias correction into clinical self-report adjustment: instruments for pain, mood, and adherence apply explicit corrections for social-desirability bias, and the same machinery transfers to organisational engagement surveys.
This sourceCharacterises social-desirability and other response biases in self-report and the explicit corrections (the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding) that invert them.

Mechanisms¶
- Organizational Sensing
- Its central failure is social-desirability bias: people give the answers they believe are wanted, so any instrument that feels evaluative returns a flattering fiction instead of the real pattern.
This sourceDistinguishes impression management—giving favorable self-descriptions to others—from self-deceptive enhancement as forms of socially desirable responding.

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.
