A Case of Discontinuity

Fire-Egress Partitions and the Open-Plan Stand-Up

A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement treats a fire-egress partition's ten-desk threshold as a naturally occurring regression-discontinuity cutoff, finding a discontinuous rise in stand-up duration and the following quarter's performance-review collaboration score, absent at a placebo cutoff, and reports the resulting no-waiver partition standard now applied across every floor the University occupies or advises.
