C-VIVAMEDA-011 Long-form X posts of 9 and 10 August 2026 record Oliver Nold publicly communicating two Vivameda research results: a ten-year study of 225 major retailers reporting a 5.5x higher failure rate among retailers with more digitally replicable workforce capabilities, and a workforce analysis since August 2022 reporting -7.1% at high-AI-exposure social and content firms against +11.6% at lower-exposure firms. The posts establish that the results were publicly communicated on those dates. They are not independent validation, the underlying research is company-published and not peer-reviewed, and the AI-exposure comparison explicitly does not prove that AI caused the divergence.
Post existence: verified from the official first-party account export. Independent verification of the statement inside the record: not established by this source.
