What Is the First Hook For?

A Five-Kind Taxonomy of What Hangs by the Front Door, and the Declared-Kind Rule for Staff Coat-Hooks

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement sorts what hangs on the front-hall hooks of 60 households into five kinds, and finds the hook nearest the door held by a Dormant garment in 25 hallways and by a Worn coat in 7. The School now allocates staff coat-hooks only against a declared kind and reallocates any hook counted Dormant at two consecutive counts, with no appeal.
