A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities reports QUORUM, a scheduling-consensus engine that extracts availability from an ordinary group-chat thread and locks in a meeting time once its confidence score clears a fixed threshold, archiving further replies from the default view regardless of content. Across 214 pilot chats the engine cut median time-to-consensus from 41.2 to 6.7 minutes, and three partner committees have adopted its locked output as their meeting record of standing with no manual override.
