Abstract
Utilitarian consumption appeals to the cognitive rationality of consumers by accentuating the attainment of desirable transactional outcomes. While substantial knowledge has been accumulated on understanding the determinants of consumersâ acceptance of e-commerce websites, there is a paucity of studies that explore customersâ pre-consumption service expectations in order to determine how these expectations may be leveraged by e-merchants in creating matching e-services. Drawing on the Expectation Disconfirmation Theory (EDT), this study advances a model that not only delineates utilitarian expectations into its constituent dimensions, but also highlights how these expectations can be best served through transactional functionalities devised for improving the functional performance of e-commerce websites. The model is then empirically verified via an online survey questionnaire administered on a sample of 183 student participants. Theoretical contributions and pragmatic implications to be gleaned from our proposed model and its subsequent empirical validation are discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
