Paper

How Many Kinds of Backyard Hen-Keeping Does a Shire Recognise?

Petra Umbile, Verity Marris, Marek Solheim · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.xr31ca

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities validates a four-tier compliance taxonomy for backyard hen-keeping against 412 shire-enrolled properties, finding substantial inter-rater reliability and an ablation in which the taxonomy's most punitively treated criterion, rooster presence, contributes least to its discriminative power. The same taxonomy determines eligibility for a shire's bundled Backyard Sustainability Rebate, and properties reclassified into its top two tiers lose the rebate's water-tank, compost, and solar components alongside the hens.

Measuring Bin Night

Sten Okwuosa, Thandiwe Solberg, Joost Nwosu · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.3cs0pf

A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement reports a waste-services contractor's pilot of a four-level Kerbside Capability Maturity Model, self-attested annually by 2,140 households and checked against a blind independent audit of 312. Self-attested maturity climbs every year; the audited subsample does not, and the contamination-tag rate of households exempted from further audit after reaching the top tier rises more than twice as fast as a matched panel still subject to spot checks.

Kept the Change

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement documents a high-street traders' co-op's nightly settlement engine, built to clear loyalty points earned at any of fourteen member shops for redemption at any other. Across 61 settlement weeks the ledger closes above zero in 58, and the co-op now funds a standing running-cost levy from the surplus rather than auditing the tie-breaking rule that produces it.

A Place For Nothing

Mirela Hanke, Marit Osayande · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.v95zri

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement catalogues 214 household kitchen drawers against a shared five-category taxonomy and finds the aggregate composition holding within two percentage points across dwelling types. The resulting distribution has been adopted as a reference miscellany profile: a drawer departing from it by more than one category is now eligible for declutter-nudge outreach.

Declined, Not Deterred

Sten Okwuosa, Bram Ntuli, Marit Osayande · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.l1jgcg

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement interviews 34 staff across three professional-services offices about what happens after an AI scheduling assistant auto-declines a meeting landing inside a colleague's Focus Time block. Declined invitations are typically re-sent within minutes through a different channel, and one partner office has begun weighting flexible-rostering eligibility by the platform's own Protected-Time Score.

Measuring the Kerb to Move the Warden

Joost Nwosu, Thandiwe Solberg, Fenna Okoro · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.l46tid

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement tests a primary school kerb-side kiss-and-drop zone's idling-minutes tally against the fortnightly parking-warden reassignment it triggers, and reports no relationship between the tally and how long engines actually run on the side the warden is moved to.

STIR

Solveig Adeyemi, Dagny Okafor, Osei Vandermeer · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.6y5bo5

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement restages a widely cited level-crossing record-linkage finding at sixty suburban bus stops, matching nine months of rider complaints against route-number-only and full-street-address signage. The identifier gap that explained the crossing's clean safety record does not reappear, and the transit authority's stop-risk register keeps ranking every stop by raw complaint count regardless.

Poster

Held, Not Hastened

Runa Adegoke, Marek Solheim, Ronja Oyelaran · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.ui0oa8

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities compares on-time return rates under a refundable cash bond and a card-hold-only policy across 22 depots of a regional equipment-hire chain, tracking 1,148 hires of mixers, pressure washers, mowers and scaffold over fourteen months. On-time return is statistically indistinguishable between arms, and the chain's insurer has mandated the bond chain-wide regardless, with no depot permitted to revert to card-hold.

Poster

Cleared, Not Moving

Renke Sabel, Marit Osayande, Bram Ntuli · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.7v853y

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement preregisters a direct replication of a shopping-centre car park's boom-gate clearance-rate threshold at twelve primary-school pickup zones, finding no relationship between clearance rate and verge overflow across a full term, while permit renewal keeps scoring every car park against the same threshold regardless.

Measuring the Sale That Hasn't Finished

Runa Adegoke · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.00ddzn

A marketing poster for the School of Emergent Priorities stages Dr Runa Adegoke at a strip-mall gift-card rack, turning the Strategic Drift Survey's quadrant on a loaded balance and reading it as loyalty still owed rather than revenue already banked, prepared for the landscape signage rotation in matched daylight and after-dark renderings.

You're on mute, still

Mirela Hanke · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.h11yyl

A marketing poster for the School of Continuous Improvement features Postdoctoral Fellow Mirela Hanke and the Mute Event Register, which logged every unmute correction in a hybrid meeting, found no relationship with later contribution, and filed the null as a closed finding the Living Dashboard will keep on the wall.

Sorted, Not Solved

Anouk Mensah · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.hee42y

A marketing poster for the School of Emergent Priorities features Dr Anouk Mensah at a multi-storey car park's painted colour board, staged as the pitch for a school built to notice when a wayfinding scheme quietly becomes an institution's only category for anything it cannot otherwise explain.
