Abstract
In this study, we track long-term patterns of continuity and change in the organizational identities of four nonprofits. Our findings reveal two trajectories, explained by the different means–ends structure of identity claims at each organization’s founding and the different pattern of identity work that they subsequently carry out. Our observations suggest that not all the attributes members use to make and give sense of “who we are” as an organization are equally consequential for members’ decisions. Claims used to define organizational ends are more likely to shape long-term patterns of identity change and continuity than are claims used to define the means used to pursue these ends, because they affect members’ relative compulsion to conform to categorical expectations as well as the latitude of their pursuit of opportunities for growth.

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
