Abstract
Why might high-status organizations, presumably secure in their positions, resort to illegality? This study considers the possibility that status theory might have overestimated the relative security of high-status organizations. We examine our theory that an inability to meet associates’ expectations about quality might be the source of insecurity, using data on the illegal loan recovery practices employed by commercial banks in India between 2005 and 2009. High-status banks were found to be particularly likely to engage in illegal recovery practices. This was especially true when a high-status bank had experienced a decline in its financial asset quality or had fallen behind the financial asset quality of its peers. However, when a bank’s business partners placed greater emphasis on corporate social responsibility (CSR), it minimized a bank’s tendency to resort to illegal loan recovery practices.

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
