  • High information asymmetries impede high-tech entrepreneurial ideas.

    “High information asymmetries impede high-­ tech entrepreneurial ideas”

    From Toward an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Research Program (2022) · cites this paper as Ghio, N., & Rossi-­Guerini, M., Lamastra, (2017)

    The Abstract says high information asymmetries impede high-tech entrepreneurial ideas based on university knowledge from attracting external finance. The claim omits both the university-knowledge qualification and the specific financing obstacle, making it broader than the source's point. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
