Same Balance, New Argument

Structured Handovers for a Babysitting Co-op's Point Ledger

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities reports a field trial across 41 babysitting co-ops testing whether a structured handover template changes what gets disputed when the ledger-keeper role passes to a new parent. Point-balance dispute rates and side-arrangement carry-forward were statistically indistinguishable between templated and freeform handovers over a ten-week window.
