Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This conceptual paper delineates an audience-centric understanding of what we call organizational crisis confidence (OCC). Based on public relations and communication management literature on organizational ability and integrity and public perceptions and appraisals thereof, this new framework provides a conceptual delineation of OCC, including key components (confidence vs. doubt), dimensions of each component, and a set of propositions for further empirical examination. We view OCC as a subset and specific application of trust that occurs during a specific time and context amid a crisis. This novel framework holds implications for the advancement of public relations and crisis communication practice.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
