Worauf die BusFactor-Methode wissenschaftlich steht
Unsere Methode und unser Geschäftsmodell ruhen auf der detaillierten Analyse von über 25 wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten — von Polanyis Tacit Dimension (1966) bis zur aktuellen HICSS-2026-Forschung zu LLM-gestütztem Shopfloor-Wissenstransfer. Diese Seite ist die vollständige, APA-zitierte Bibliothek mit Direktlinks zu Quellen und unseren Deep-Dive-Artikeln.
