The Threshold Residential Entry Abrasion Detector
A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement reports the first population-scale deployment of TREAD, a portable instrument scoring front-doormat tread wear across 1,480 households and 94 streets, and finds that any street whose median score crosses a fixed threshold is enrolled in a council's mandatory two-year doorstep-safety audit with no earlier exit.
