Abstract
Service science emphasises the process of value co-creation within relationships. This frames the importance of service quality and its outcomes to business-to-business (B2B) interaction. This exploratory paper investigates the dimensions of service encounter quality in B2B relationships and its effect on (dis)satisfaction. Purchasers are sampled from America and Canada who are in extended relationships with suppliers. Qualitative data are in the form of critical incidents that code to 272 critical judgements of these purchasers’ perceptions of their suppliers. Findings reveal eight dimensions of service encounter quality: basic capability, relationship, communication, attitude, specification conformance, time and money, flexibility and resolution. The findings reveal how service encounter quality impacts (dis)satisfaction in a way that provides insight for suppliers in managing impacts of investment in service.

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
