Statement¶
The claim is accurate as stated: O'Boyle and Aguinis (2012) studied five studies, 198 samples, 633,263 individuals, found power-law distributions, and the top decile produces roughly 30% of output while the top quartile produces over 50%.
Status¶
Current: Inconclusive
Supporting Evidence¶
| Evidence | Summary |
|---|---|
| SRC01-E01 | Study parameters (5 studies, 198 samples, 633,263 individuals, power-law finding) confirmed |
| SRC01-E02 | Power-law distribution finding confirmed across multiple sources |
Contradicting Evidence¶
| Evidence | Summary |
|---|---|
| SRC01-E03 | Output concentration percentages (30%, 50%) not found in any secondary source |
Reasoning¶
The core study parameters are overwhelmingly confirmed. However, the specific output concentration figures cannot be verified from available sources. If the full paper text confirms these figures, H1 would be supported. If the figures are approximations or derivations, H2 is more accurate.
Relationship to Other Hypotheses¶
H1 is a stronger version of H2 — it requires both the study parameters AND the specific percentages to be accurate. H1 and H3 are mutually exclusive.
