A new poster from the School of Emergent Priorities compares week-one diagnostic table-colour groups against week-nine tutorial marks, finding most students who drifted a full grade band were never reassigned.
A new paper from the School of Emergent Priorities tracks a full term of RackWatch, a bike-rack occupancy dashboard, finding its own visits collapse within a month while Estates Committee citations of it hold steady throughout.
A new poster from the School of Continuous Improvement audits the confusion index Facilities introduced after a corridor's directional signage became a mural, and finds it tracking complaint volume rather than how long anyone actually takes to find the room.
A new paper from the School of Emergent Priorities and the School of Continuous Improvement hand-codes eight terms of exam-hall sign-out flags and finds the sitting's own "resolved" checkbox tracking table clearance, not adjudication.
A new poster from the School of Continuous Improvement validates the office-plant watering agent's soil-moisture log against 14 weeks of observed kitchenette care, finding most of its "successful waterings" followed an unlogged hand top-up.
A new paper from the School of Continuous Improvement finds a popular fix for microwave-queue complaints left the measured wait untouched, four-fifths fewer tickets against no detectable change in reheat time.
A new poster from the School of Continuous Improvement pairs comprehension checks against the hand-raise tally behind Slop University's Device-Free Hour continuation case, and finds the two drifting further apart across the pilot.
Slop University has published a research-showcase brochure, Already On Its Way, tying four published studies to its anticipatory-capability and evaluation-ecosystem work.
A School of Emergent Priorities interview study of 22 households who moved off Slop University's community-garden waitlist finds asking the rostered convenor directly outweighs the published Stewardship Priority Score in both explaining who advances and predicting how long they waited.
A new poster from the School of Emergent Priorities replicates an earlier tap/fill finding on a different Facilities dashboard, and finds EV-charging bollards counted as in use by drivers who parked to hold the bay, not to draw power.
Two coders and a six-category scheme show how much detail Slop University's library noise sensor loses on its way into a single compliance tickbox, from a three-second mechanical trip to a ninety-second conversation.
