It could recover existing capacity without adding rooms, but the local allocation wedge, recoverable volume, measurement validity, stakeholder acceptance, and incremental distinctiveness remain unverified.","adopter_authorizer":"The music school or conservatory's authorized space-allocation body, subject to facilities, accessibility, curricular, and safeguarding review.","scores":{"meaningful_impact":{"score":3,"rationale":"Recovering otherwise lost rehearsal-hours could improve access and reduce displacement into unsuitable rooms or times, including for constrained users. The packet provides no evidence about the prevalence, magnitude, or educational consequence of the local allocation loss."},"stakeholder_pull":{"score":3,"rationale":"Denied musicians, recurring-slot holders, faculty programs, accessibility stakeholders, and scheduling staff have identifiable interests in the outcome. No stakeholder inquiry demonstrates demand for this intervention, willingness to accept reclaim rules, or dissatisfaction of sufficient magnitude to motivate adoption."},"incremental_advantage":{"score":4,"rationale":"Relative to fixed recurring reservations with manual cancellation, systematic release plus compatibility-aware rematching directly targets simultaneous nonuse and unmet demand while avoiding capital expansion. Its advantage disappears if little capacity is reclaimable, compatibility is too restrictive, or administration consumes the recovered benefit."},"distinctiveness_plausibility":{"score":3,"rationale":"The protected-exemption, reclaim-and-rematch, appeal, expiry, and rollback package forms a coherent testable configuration.

Implementation remains contingent on reliable utilization measurement, usable booking records, compatibility rules, and resistance to strategic check-ins."},"adoption_authority_feasibility":{"score":4,"rationale":"A specific institutional decision authority and required facilities, accessibility, curricular, and safeguarding reviewers are identified. Feasibility is reduced by the need to negotiate protected blocks, appeals, monitoring limits, and acceptable displacement thresholds across affected groups."},"evidence_readiness":{"score":4,"rationale":"The packet identifies observable records, separate problem and intervention falsifiers, a bounded room cluster, a baseline, and explicit safety outcomes. It lacks operational thresholds, validated utilization measures, denominators, comparison windows, and subgroup decision rules."},"safety_net_benefit":{"score":4,"rationale":"Protected exemptions, notice, appeal, automatic expiry, excluded actions, immediate safety pauses, and rollback thresholds substantially contain pilot risk. Protection depends on correctly distinguishing nonuse from setup, continuity, security, accessibility, and other legitimate holds."},"scalability":{"score":3,"rationale":"If successful, the booking-rule mechanism could extend across additional rooms using existing allocation processes.
