The Sign Changed Nothing

An Audit of Dispute Rates Across a Pub-Trivia Circuit's Laminated "Phones Away" Honour Policy

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities tracks disputed-answer rates across a 16-week pub-trivia season, comparing 58 venues before and after each adopts a laminated "phones away" honour sign. Dispute rates hold flat regardless of sign presence, while the circuit's own self-reported compliance survey moves independently of the dispute log it is meant to track.
