What a claim record is How to read this page

One statement, bounded on purpose

The headline is a single claim that a named source supports. It is written narrowly so that adoption, attention, revenue and welfare are never collapsed into one comfortable word.

The three sections below the fold

What this does not establish is the boundary of the evidence. Counterevidence & uncertainty is what argues the other way. What would change the reading is the observation that would move it. A record missing any of the three is incomplete, not merely brief.

Primary routes are checkable

Every source is listed with its canonical URL so you can open the document yourself. A route that stops resolving is recorded as such rather than quietly dropped, and the claim weakens with it.

MWITA-EBRO-2026-012 · Evidence A · P1

Negative employment word-of-mouth reduced applicant attraction most strongly for an unknown employer; established positive or negative employer-brand knowledge attenuated—but did not eliminate—the negative signal.

What this does not establish

The experimental endpoint is stated attraction among potential applicants, not submitted applications, acceptances, hires, performance or retention; a familiar negative brand remained less attractive in level even though new negative WOM moved it less.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

Both positive and negative familiarity buffered incremental negative WOM, so attenuation is partly prior knowledge and signal consistency—not proof that a favorable reputation immunizes an employer.

What would change the reading

Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and realized behavioral or commercial outcomes.
