A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities scores the clean/dirty magnets on 47 shared workplace dishwashers against a five-level maturity model, from Unturned to Anticipatory, and finds that the magnet showed the machine's true state on about 71% of door-openings at every level. A business park's tenants' association now exempts kitchens at Level 4 or above from its quarterly cupboard-mug count, and removes ownerless mugs from the rest.
