Reallocation of Unused Rehearsal Slots","opportunity_summary":"Audit whether unused, reclaimable recurring rehearsal-room reservations coexist with unmet compatible demand, then conditionally test protected, usage-contingent release and compatibility-aware waitlist rematching in a bounded general-purpose-room pilot.","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 unused rehearsal-hours could improve access and reduce substitution into unsuitable rooms or times, but the packet supplies no evidence about the local prevalence, duration, or distribution of reclaimable nonuse."},"stakeholder_pull":{"score":3,"rationale":"Musicians denied compatible rooms and staff seeking better utilization have plausible incentives, while recurring-slot holders and curricular programs may resist continuity risks; no stakeholder demand, complaints, or adopter commitment is evidenced."},"incremental_advantage":{"score":3,"rationale":"Systematic release and compatibility-aware rematching could outperform manual cancellation and first-come ad hoc booking without adding physical capacity, but gains depend on finding material compatible demand and reliably reclaimable blocks."},"distinctiveness_plausibility":{"score":2,"rationale":"The combination of no-show release and waitlist rematching is coherent but conceptually straightforward, and the packet explicitly provides no evidence distinguishing it from existing rehearsal-space or general booking practices."},"technical_implementability":{"score":4,"rationale":"The proposal uses bounded rules, booking records, check-ins, cancellations, waitlists, and predefined compatibility criteria; remaining difficulties concern validating meaningful use, preventing strategic check-ins, and handling heterogeneous rooms."},"adoption_authority_feasibility":{"score":4,"rationale":"A specific institutional decision authority and required reviewers are identified, and the proposed scope stays within internal allocation policy, although local approvals and protection tolerances remain unverified."},"evidence_readiness":{"score":4,"rationale":"The packet specifies observable states, separate problem and intervention falsifiers, a one-cluster audit, and a six-week pilot; operational thresholds and minimally invasive utilization measures still require preregistration and validation."},"safety_net_benefit":{"score":5,"rationale":"Protected exemptions, notice, appeal, automatic expiry, excluded actions, subgroup monitoring, immediate safety pauses, and rollback thresholds provide unusually strong containment for a reversible allocation-policy test."},"scalability":{"score":3,"rationale":"A successful rule could extend across comparable institution-managed rooms, but acoustic, equipment, ensemble-size, accessibility, scheduling, and safeguarding differences require local compatibility rules and limit uniform replication."}},"score_confidence":"MODERATE","costs":{"first_evidence":{"band_2026_usd":"UNDER_10K","scope":"A preregistered audit of one existing room cluster using booking, cancellation, check-in,
