The same framework written four ways. The two-page summary is the fastest route to the claim; scholars can then evaluate it on its own terms; researchers get the full argument with its literature; operators get the taxonomy and the instruments.

The Verification Boundary — summary brief
The abstract, the proposition, and the refutation criteria in three pages
The whole argument compressed to what a reviewer needs before deciding whether to read further: the abstract, the proposition with its three scope conditions, all six falsifiable predictions with refutation criteria, where the claim sits relative to prior literature, and the one question being asked. Designed to be read in four minutes and forwarded without apology.
Abstract and the key claim in full

P1–P6 with refutation criteria, plus whole-claim refutation

The Verification Boundary
Institutional independence as a boundary condition on platform expansion in AI markets
One claim, stated so it can be refuted: where an automated output can impose material, difficult-to-recover losses on parties beyond the producer, and where money, permission, admissibility, or liability depends on a credible assertion of conformity, verification must remain institutionally independent from generation. The brief proposes a stopping rule that platform envelopment leaves open, and answers the obvious objection that this is regulation in theoretical costume.
The proposition, its scope conditions, and the consequence test
Four forms of independence, from protected internal function to separate firm
Positioning against Teece, Eisenmann–Parker–Van Alstyne, Coase, Williamson, Akerlof, Power
Why the claim is not reducible to regulation, with a discriminating test
Six falsifiable predictions (P1–P6) with explicit refutation criteria
Where the boundary sits in Layer 3 (Gatekeeping), sublayer by sublayer
Limitations, an empirical program, and how to cite
Where competitive advantage accumulates in artificial intelligence markets
The full academic treatment: literature review, the ten-layer structure, the four laws and their mechanisms, the three currents, and market vignettes that test the argument against real outcomes.
Literature review and positioning against prior work
The ten layers, three registers, and their half-lives
Taxonomy, laws, instruments, and applications for operators and investors
The operational companion. Every layer and sublayer, what each is worth, who plays there, the moves that work, the characteristic failure modes, and two instruments for placing a company on the map.
All ten layers and fifty sublayers, with operator notes
The four laws applied to roadmap and diligence decisions
