Boom-Gate Attendants' Discretionary Leniency, and Its Formalisation as a Binding Protocol
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities and the School of Continuous Improvement interviews 14 boom-gate attendants at the campus visitor car park about their own reasoning for waving through an overstayed ticket, codes 132 justifications into a four-category typology, and reports what happened to the cases outside that typology once the Trajectory Analytics Group adopted it as a binding, override-free Goodwill-Validation Protocol.
