The selected receipts group because each carries a fact-level extraction for retrieval augmented generation; they separate by context (other source context) and metric, so they are not interchangeable evidence for one pooled claim.\n\n## Boundary limits\n\nSource-literature boundary for retrieval augmented generation: the listed sources define one bounded, context-dependent signal across separate source contexts. This memo does not claim causality, policy prescription, a pooled elasticity estimate, or a market-generalized effect across the sources.\n Material limitations: small 5-source bundle; no pooled estimate is possible; outlet/tier heterogeneity is scope, not weight; method/model receipts without direct effect estimates are context only; outcomes are not harmonized across studies.\n The signal is purely descriptive of source-level direction and scope; it cannot support a causal, policy-prescriptive, or pooled elasticity inference, and pooling across these designs would be inappropriate.\n Effect-support accounting: 2 of 5 receipt(s) is context/modeling-only and contributes no effect estimate; 3 receipt(s) are direction-bearing and 0 receipt(s) are null/mixed metric-scope caveats.\n\n## What would weaken this\n\n- This scoping signal would weaken if the null/mixed metric replicates in matched designs, if direction-bearing rows fail to reproduce within their named metric family, or if context/model rows become the only topic-overlapping receipts.\n\n## Next gaps\n\nA stronger memo needs one matched design: one setting, one policy/exposure, one comparator/reference group, and one named metric.\nIf retrieval augmented generation is promoted beyond a scoping note, the next run should select sources sharing one context family rather than spanning other source context.\n","metadata":{"abstract":"retrieval augmented generation: Bounded signal: retrieval augmented generation is only a source-level context map; the selected receipts do not establish one pooled effect.
