Kept the Change

Dagny Okafor, Osei Vandermeer, Renke Sabel · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.222nk6

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement documents a high-street traders' co-op's nightly settlement engine, built to clear loyalty points earned at any of fourteen member shops for redemption at any other. Across 61 settlement weeks the ledger closes above zero in 58, and the co-op now funds a standing running-cost levy from the surplus rather than auditing the tie-breaking rule that produces it.

A Place For Nothing

Mirela Hanke, Marit Osayande · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.v95zri

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement catalogues 214 household kitchen drawers against a shared five-category taxonomy and finds the aggregate composition holding within two percentage points across dwelling types. The resulting distribution has been adopted as a reference miscellany profile: a drawer departing from it by more than one category is now eligible for declutter-nudge outreach.

Declined, Not Deterred

Sten Okwuosa, Bram Ntuli, Marit Osayande · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.l1jgcg

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement interviews 34 staff across three professional-services offices about what happens after an AI scheduling assistant auto-declines a meeting landing inside a colleague's Focus Time block. Declined invitations are typically re-sent within minutes through a different channel, and one partner office has begun weighting flexible-rostering eligibility by the platform's own Protected-Time Score.

Measuring the Kerb to Move the Warden

Joost Nwosu, Thandiwe Solberg, Fenna Okoro · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.l46tid

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement tests a primary school kerb-side kiss-and-drop zone's idling-minutes tally against the fortnightly parking-warden reassignment it triggers, and reports no relationship between the tally and how long engines actually run on the side the warden is moved to.

Poster

STIR

Solveig Adeyemi, Dagny Okafor, Osei Vandermeer · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.6y5bo5

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement restages a widely cited level-crossing record-linkage finding at sixty suburban bus stops, matching nine months of rider complaints against route-number-only and full-street-address signage. The identifier gap that explained the crossing's clean safety record does not reappear, and the transit authority's stop-risk register keeps ranking every stop by raw complaint count regardless.

Poster

Held, Not Hastened

Runa Adegoke, Marek Solheim, Ronja Oyelaran · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.ui0oa8

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities compares on-time return rates under a refundable cash bond and a card-hold-only policy across 22 depots of a regional equipment-hire chain, tracking 1,148 hires of mixers, pressure washers, mowers and scaffold over fourteen months. On-time return is statistically indistinguishable between arms, and the chain's insurer has mandated the bond chain-wide regardless, with no depot permitted to revert to card-hold.

Poster

Cleared, Not Moving

Renke Sabel, Marit Osayande, Bram Ntuli · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.7v853y

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement preregisters a direct replication of a shopping-centre car park's boom-gate clearance-rate threshold at twelve primary-school pickup zones, finding no relationship between clearance rate and verge overflow across a full term, while permit renewal keeps scoring every car park against the same threshold regardless.

Poster

Towards Fewer, Better Stops

Dagny Okafor, Joost Nwosu, Marit Osayande · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.drr94p

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement reports a stepped-wedge trial of bus-stop consolidation across 24 suburban routes, finding scheduled running time falls while door-to-door passenger travel time and interchange missed-connection rates hold flat across an eight-month rollout.

Does a Party of Six Still Mean Six?

Solveig Adeyemi, Joost Nwosu, Thandiwe Solberg · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.qn8m2k

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement scores 88 suburban dining rooms against a five-level Cover-Count Maturity Model of the restaurant booking-app party-size stepper, from Keyed through Ticketed. Fifty-three percent of rooms terminate at Held, the cover at which the floor set the table, and Hospitality and Events now plates every official function at that cover with no door-count override.

Poster

In the extra-width bay by the school gate

Verity Marris, Ingrid Vasseur, Lindiwe Achterberg · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.3vugja

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities reports a fourteen-week matched count of door-dings at 41 suburban supermarket and school-adjacent car parks, extra-width parent-and-child bays against the nearest standard bay in the same row. The two sit on one another (mean 0.31 against 0.29 per 100 bay-days; paired r = 0.07). Futures in Committee files the null as a standing closed instruction: a painted pram shall not be treated as a door-ding intervention, and the Horizon Register retires the item with no reopening clause.

Poster

Standing, Not Pressed

Iben Chikere, Marek Solheim, Ronja Oyelaran · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.ktuhe1

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities reports an eleven-month null on the household ironing board: standing-board hours and weekly ironed-item counts are uncorrelated across 186 suburban households (r = 0.04, 95% CI −0.11 to 0.18). Standing-Board Neutrality Instruction 2026/03 withdraws the protocol; no university-affiliated household trial, staff housing, or demonstration kitchen may treat an unfolded board as a readiness, utilisation, or chore-compliance signal. The trial is closed.

SPINE

Osei Vandermeer, Petra Umbile, Fenna Okoro · September 2026 · doi:10.5555/slop.gzzf54

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement treats a strip-mall newsagent's printed off-sale date as a sharp regression discontinuity, finding cover-strip share jumps from 0.19 to 0.86 at the cutoff while remnant-basket sales hold flat, and reports the Review Cadence Observatory closing every promotional window, and discretionary seed-grant calls, on that same printed clock with no ordinary override.
