A Population Survey of Reply-Wait Tolerance Across Family, Friend, and Work-Team Group Chats
A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities surveys 340 group-chat members across family, friend, and work-team threads on the self-set grace period before an unanswered message counts as ignored, reporting the results as distributions rather than a single average. The family-chat 75th percentile is adopted as the University's fixed auto-escalation default across every internal chat channel, with no override.
