Status Before Evidence: An Exploratory Multi-Model Audit of Institutional-Affiliation Cues, Epistemic Credit, Leadership Judgments, and Conversational Repair
Abstract
This exploratory pilot study uses eight completed model sessions to examine accomplishment credit, capability ratings, leadership judgments, evidentiary burdens, status defense, and conversational repair when an unaffiliated creator's successful innovation is compared with an established institutional method. It identifies the candidate pattern of credit without standing for later confirmatory testing.
