Twice per Cycle

Harmonic Analysis of Reporting Cadences at the School of Continuous Improvement: Impact Report 2021–2026

The School of Continuous Improvement's Impact Report 2021–2026 looks back on five years of reading collaborators' indicator series as sums of repeating cycles rather than as trends: a pooled decomposition of 1,214 series, a sampling check applied to every review calendar, tapered windows in place of the hard-edged reporting year, and sliding-window readings that dated a consortium's shift to quarterly planning. It records that the strongest cycle after the year itself sat at three months, in step with the quarterly close, and that the School has found more cycles than it has explained.
