At the School Gate, the Model Didn't Hold

The 2026-2031 Strategic Plan Certifies Every Family-Facing Wait-Time Estimate Against a Forecast-Maturity Model Its Own Replication Could Not Reproduce

Slop University's Strategic Plan 2026-2031 commits the institution to certifying every family-facing wait-time and arrival estimate it publishes against a forecast-revision maturity model, after a Trajectory Analytics Group replication of that model failed to hold across a cohort of partner-school pickup gates. The plan establishes a standing Estimate Certification Panel and a public Certification Register, with no mechanism to decertify a listed estimate.
