Abstract
Abstract Different organizational perspectives surrounding social enterprises (SEs) have burgeoned over the past few years. However, integrating financial sustainability with social value remains a “black box” with respect to entrepreneurial strategic decision-making (SDM). Drawing from decision theories and the proactivity perspective of personality-based SDM literature, we investigate the impact of synoptic (rationalistic) and incremental (adaptive) process models, and moderate these approaches with the entrepreneur’s proactive personality traits on SEs’ financial and social performance. Our results show that when a rational and intuitive SDM develops in conjunction, financial performance improves. In contrast, a departure from rationality in favor of incremental decision-making processes advances only the social performance of SEs. A proactive entrepreneurial personality positively moderates strategic cognitions in improving SEs’ both financial and social objectives. On the other hand, when proactivity moderates rationality, the financial performance of SEs declines.

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
