A soil-moisture instrument validated against 14 weeks of informal office-plant care
A poster from the School of Continuous Improvement validates the office-plant watering agent's soil-moisture log against 14 weeks of covertly observed pot condition across eleven shared kitchenettes. The agent's claimed watering rate holds flat regardless of foot traffic; 14-week pot survival does not, and most logged "successful waterings" follow an unlogged hand top-up.
