A year-long deployment of an automated sunset scorer across the School of Continuous Improvement's Indicator Commons finds retirement the least common outcome for anything it flags.
A School of Continuous Improvement poster tests whether the University's mandatory AI-literacy sign-off predicts what research students can actually do, and finds self-rated fluency and measured task scores almost unrelated.
A School of Emergent Priorities poster audits five years of horizon-scan recommendations against their own sunset windows, and finds a lapsed justification does almost nothing to a recommendation's odds of being renewed.

A new study from the School of Emergent Priorities finds Horizon Register scan entries lose nearly all their hedging language by the time Futures in Committee minutes them, and that the entries left with no hedge at all advance through the Register's pipeline fastest.
New findings from the School of Continuous Improvement show that Demo Quarter's pairwise-comparison shortlisting instrument returns a different winner for the same pair of entries depending only on which one is shown first.
A School of Continuous Improvement paper regrades a decade of capstones under every year's official rubric text and finds the assigned distinction band tracks the drafting committee's chair more than the work it graded.
New findings from the School of Emergent Priorities show Master of Priority Studies students can name their day-one track months later, but not the evidence that would move them off it.

New findings from the School of Emergent Priorities test whether a capability-practice pattern found in two earlier studies reappears in a third setting, and trace what became of the result once it reached the School of Continuous Improvement's own dashboard.
