Pressed Interested, Arrived Standing

A Four-Cell Classification of Street-Fair Attendees by Event-Page Interest and Chair Possession

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement sorts 9,412 attendees at 38 suburban street fairs by whether they pressed Interested on the event page and whether they arrived with a folding chair, finding the button barely moves the chance of a chair (32.3% against 27.3%) and that 62.1% of chairs came from people who never pressed it. The University's graduation lawn is now hired at 0.68 chairs per Interested click, read once on the Monday before the ceremony and not amended on the day.
