A Second-Site Replication of the Weekend Fairness-Credit Finding at a Babysitting-Swap App's Highly Rated Badge
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities carries a shift-rostering threshold finding to a babysitting-swap app, whose Highly Rated badge is removed when a sitter's rolling average falls below 4.8 stars. Across 2,094 sitters and 18,630 written reviews, the badge's removal is followed by no reliable change in how often parents use flexibility language, an estimate 26 points from the original's, and the Strategic Drift Survey responds by adopting a schedule that reads app thresholds in weekend fairness credits.
