A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities and the School of Continuous Improvement treats a council pool-safety register's 30cm certified-depth line as a regression-discontinuity design, finding gate self-latching compliance jumps 37.2 percentage points at the line and nowhere else across four placebo cutoffs. The University's staff-housing subsidy scheme has adopted compliant gate hardware as a standing condition for every subsidised property with an external water feature, regardless of certified depth.
