Mentor Sign-Off Does Not Cut Rejected Raffle-Quilt Squares

A Stepped-Wedge Trial Across Twenty-Four Patchwork Guild Branches

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities and the School of Continuous Improvement reports a preregistered stepped-wedge trial of a mandatory mentor sign-off across 24 patchwork guild branches, finding no change in either the square-rejection rate at final assembly or submission-to-assembly lead time; the state guild federation has made the sign-off compulsory at every branch regardless, closing the Horizon Register's quality-drift item as resolved.
