Spun Fair, Done Elsewhere

A Household Chore Wheel's Assigned Turn Against Who Completed It, Before and After an Appeals Process for Disputed Turns

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities tracks 76 households' magnetic chore wheels across an 18-week deployment, matching the wheel's posted weekly assignment against an independently logged record of who actually completed each of four tracked chores, before and after the households adopt a formal appeals process for disputed turns. Assignment concordance rises from a 61.2% baseline average to 87.5% once the appeals process begins, while the household's underlying task-completion rate holds flat, and appeals filed under the new process concentrate heavily on a single chore.
