A Place For Nothing

Sorting the household junk drawer against a shared taxonomy

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement catalogues 214 household kitchen drawers against a shared five-category taxonomy and finds the aggregate composition holding within two percentage points across dwelling types. The resulting distribution has been adopted as a reference miscellany profile: a drawer departing from it by more than one category is now eligible for declutter-nudge outreach.
