Verify the Foroughi & Al-Amoudi (2020) 'unusable/uprooted' quote against direct-fetched primary text

claim-organizational-forgetting-names-two-unrelated-research-traditions rests centrally on a quotation from Hamid Foroughi and Ismael Al-Amoudi, "Collective Forgetting in a Changing Organization" (Organization Studies 41(4):449-470, 2020). At capture time, both the SAGE full-text host and an SSRN-hosted PDF returned HTTP 403; the quote as recorded was "reproduced via abstract-aggregation," not obtained by direct fetch or extract_pdf against the primary document. Per the vault's quote-provenance rule, that means the quote is not sourced yet, however plausible it reads.

What to read. The full text of Foroughi & Al-Amoudi 2020, via institutional/library access, a working SAGE or SSRN route, or Wayback Machine.

What to confirm.

On success. Replace the source_quote and confirm source_tier can stand as directly-read Tier 3 (or reassess if full text changes the reading); clear the [unverified-quote — needs direct read] flag and consider promoting the note past seedling.

Progress 2026-07-28 (cross-model audit; still open). Two developments, neither sufficient to close under the quote-provenance rule:
