What Is That Pencil Mark Actually For?

The case for the Pencil-Mark Key

A case-for-support brochure from the School of Emergent Priorities presents the Pencil-Mark Key, which sorts every mark in a community choir's folders into one of five kinds and rules on who may rub each out, at which rehearsal, and whether it passes to next season's copies, set beside seven of the University's published studies of everyday sorting.
