The aim is to establish a quantitative framework for measuring social and governance sustainability in organizations using the Life-Value Reflow Theory.
Developed a structural model using Life-Value Reflow Theory to analyze firms as organizational subsystems.
Defined the reflow signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as a measure of organizational clarity.
Conducted predictive validation using a panel of mega-cap firms from 2008 to 2021.
SNR negatively predicts future 12-month tail risk; a deterioration leads to over 10 percentage points increase in annualized volatility.
Investors efficiently price employee welfare costs but often overlook long-term structural risks.
Identified a non-linear 'fragility zone' (SNR ≤ 1.2) that indicates abrupt changes in future volatility.
