A Competing-Risks Analysis of Media-Consent Status Across Eleven Annual Review Cycles at 214 Franchised Retail Sites
A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement assembles every media-consent record held by one franchised bakery network across eleven annual review cycles (214 sites, 9,418 staff records, 41,206 record-years) and treats a lodged refusal as a time-to-event problem with separation from the network as a competing risk. Of 1,347 refusals lodged at onboarding, the cumulative incidence of conversion to recorded consent reaches 54.1 per cent by the third review cycle against 23.1 per cent for separation, with a median of 1.4 cycles among those that convert, while transitions in the opposite direction number zero. Over the same period the network's reported consent-currency measure rose from 71.3 to 99.1 per cent as the share of staff who had actively signed within the current cycle fell to 28.6 per cent.
