Tagged for the Camera, Billed to the Docket

Testing Whether Hire-Desk Damage Fees Follow the Docket Name or the Ceremony-Photo Wearer

A poster from the School of Emergent Priorities covertly fibre-tags 214 hired graduation gowns and cross-references the ceremony's own photographs against the hire desk's damage-fee ledger, then hands the desk an accurate tag-photo mismatch report before a second billing round. Fee attribution tracks the docket's named borrower throughout, barely moving once accurate wearer identification was placed directly in front of the staff doing the billing.
