A Five-Level Maturity Model for Garden-Tool Lending Between Neighbouring Households
A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement specifies a five-level Tool-Return Maturity Model scoring how reliably neighbouring households record, chase, and return borrowed garden tools, applying it across 46 streets in three neighbourhoods. The assigned level tracks only weakly against an independently logged neighbour-dispute rate, and the district's Community Garden Trust has adopted Level 3 attainment as an eligibility threshold for its annual community-garden plot ballot.
