The Timer Doesn't Travel

A Failed Off-Campus Replication of a Booked-but-Empty-Room Release Agent

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities redeploys the University's booked-but-empty study-room release agent, unmodified, at three public library branches, comparing weekly meeting-room utilisation against three matched control branches over a 22-week deployment. Utilisation at treatment branches tracks the control branches throughout the trial, with none of the divergence the original campus deployment reported.
