Towards a Fully Ticketed Cupboard

A 14-Month Single-Site Case Study of Stationery Requisition Practice

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities reports a 14-month single-site case study of one open-plan office's stationery cupboard, tracking its passage from a hand-written honesty ledger to a digital priority-queue ticketing system. Formal ticket compliance settles at a steady two-thirds of weekly requisitions, concentrated by item category, and a six-week reminder-email ablation changes nothing measurable.
