Understanding Platform Non-Neutrality Residual

The residual CPQ advantage or disadvantage attributable to platform non-neutrality after controlling for entity authority signals. Δ_non-neutral(E, P, τ) = CPQ_observed − CPQ_predicted(EAS). Theorem 8 (Non-Neutrality Extension) governs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Platform Non-Neutrality Residual?

The Platform Non-Neutrality Residual (Δ_non-neutral) is the residual CPQ advantage or disadvantage attributable to platform non-neutrality after controlling for entity authority signals: Δ_non-neutral(E, P, θ) = CPQ_observed − CPQ_predicted(EAS). It is governed by Theorem 8 (Non-Neutrality Extension).

How does the residual differ from the bias coefficient?

The Platform Commercial Bias Coefficient (β_commercial) is a structural parameter characterizing the platform's overall non-neutrality; the Platform Non-Neutrality Residual is the entity-specific outcome — the actual CPQ gap observed for a particular entity on a particular platform after EAS-predicted performance is removed.

What does a positive vs. negative residual indicate?

A positive residual indicates the platform favors the entity beyond what its authority signals predict — suggesting a commercial or promotional relationship advantage. A negative residual indicates the platform systematically underperforms EAS predictions for the entity — potentially indicating absence of a commercial relationship or active platform de-prioritization.
