A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities treats a newsletter platform's fixed open-rate threshold as a naturally occurring regression-discontinuity cutoff, finding that crossing into full sending tier is followed by a rise in curiosity-gap subject-line phrasing and in unsubscribe rate with no matching rise in click-through, and proposes a published, audited registry of such thresholds through the Horizon Register.
