A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities surveys 6,512 courier photographs of parcels left in a safe place across 1,406 households and reports the distance from the door as distributions by dwelling type, with a pooled median of 3.1 metres that holds across courier networks. The School has adopted that median as the service radius for its examination packs: a pack photographed beyond it is not served and is redelivered, with no override, and the radius narrows by a tenth of a metre each teaching period while the band beneath it stays crowded.
