A Quasi-Experiment on Whether Naming an End Date Shortens a Group Chat's Working Life
A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities tracks 64 share-house group chats for fourteen months, comparing chats that named a wind-down note at creation against chats that did not. Chats without a stated end date took roughly four times as long to reach functional silence and kept generating house-rule decisions unrelated to the task the chat was created for.
