Primes

• Bargaining Power
  • Read as a comparison of fallbacks, the puzzle dissolves: the supplier has alternative buyers and the firm has no alternative supplier.

    This sourceEstablishes that power in a relation resides in the other party's dependence -- which varies inversely with the alternatives available to it -- rather than in either party's size or resources.

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. The single citation of this work carries no 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.
