Take One, Ring Nobody

A Census of 4,912 Leaflets in 34 Waiting Rooms Against a Reach Indicator Built From Restocking Volume

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities catalogues every leaflet held in 61 waiting-room racks across 34 suburban medical centres over twelve weeks, covering 4,912 leaflets and 268 distinct titles, and classifies each title against a five-mode currency framework with every printed number rung and every address checked. 64 titles (23.9%) fail at least one test at a median lag of 19 months, while all 61 racks are fully stocked at every visit and a restocking target makes no measurable difference to what they hold.
