Threshold-Indexed Equity Rate: Auditing a Bowls Consortium's Grading-Linked Facility Levy
A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement treats a nine-club suburban bowls consortium's rolling handicap threshold as a sharp regression-discontinuity design, finding no matching jump in singles-ladder standing or rink-booking use at the grading cutoff, while the consortium's automated facility-levy calculator, TIER, produces an $84 annual levy jump at the same point that survives every bandwidth, donut-hole, and placebo check the authors ran.
