Whose Dish Is This?

A twelve-month serialised custody study of the bring-a-plate container circuit across three suburbs

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities reports a twelve-month serialised custody study of 412 bring-a-plate containers across 87 households in three suburbs, logging transfers at the door of 61 gatherings against monthly whole-shelf kitchen audits. The fleet remains 96.8% accounted for while owner retention decays to 23.5%; holdings pool with the most frequent hosts (r = 0.71), and the circuit's residents' association, satisfied at fleet level, closes its lost-property list with zero recorded losses.
