Does a fridge chore chart's assignment forecast the RFID-logged doer across a school term of kitchen tasks?
A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement tags a fridge chore chart's magnets with RFID and reads presence at the sink, bin store and laundry door across a 14-week school term in 46 households, finding the assigned name matches the logged doer in 22% of 1,142 task-instances --- statistically indistinguishable from the 20% expected under chance assignment, with no improvement across the term.
