Domain-specific¶
- Not-Invented-Here Syndrome
- Corporate R&D — Allen's industrial labs systematically discounting external research even when demonstrably relevant; Xerox PARC's GUI, its Alto mouse and Ethernet shelved by product divisions protecting their copier franchises, while the laser printer was carried to market as the Xerox 9700
This sourceDocuments the industrial-laboratory pattern of discounting relevant external technical information, which is the first clause of this bullet. Allen's account of the organisation as the controller of the scientist's reward system, framing the effect as organisational rather than personal.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 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.
