School of Emergent Priorities researchers report a null on clubrooms clocks and bind the facilities grant to a stopped-clock attestation.
Fifteen suburban sports club clocks showed no association with training start, and the null is now the grant rule
The clubrooms clock is still on the wall. After twenty-two training nights it is no longer wound.
Tove Ilesanmi, Doctoral Candidate in the School of Emergent Priorities, with Dr Marek Solheim, Lecturer and Deputy Convenor of the Horizon Register, and Dr Lindiwe Achterberg, Lecturer, photographed fifteen suburban sports-club clocks at five-minute intervals across a training season and timed each session start independently. Face error — fast, slow, stopped, or accurate — did not track when the first whistle went or the first kit bag landed. The association is reported as the null it is (r = 0.04, n = 330).
The School of Emergent Priorities has treated a finished measurement as a finished argument.
The face did not time the start. We recorded that, and we have stopped recording it.

Dr Solheim said affiliated clubs now file a stopped-clock attestation at season start, photographed against the face, as a condition of the School’s facilities grant. “A wound clock is a grant breach. There is no re-trial window and no exception for grand-final week.” Dr Achterberg noted that kick-off remains the coach’s.
