Primes¶
- Helpful-Inflow Displacement
- Hiring and feature requests: open-call postings drawing applicant volumes whose screening consumes hiring-manager capacity without changing the offer-acceptance rate, and post-launch feature-request surges whose prioritisation overhead exceeds the marginal product value. Charitable in-kind donations and editorial systems: thrift stores discarding much of what they receive because sorting labour exceeds resale value, and submission systems where editorial first-read cost is the binding constraint.
This sourceReports that charity shops discard a large share of donations because sorting and disposal cost (e.g., £45,000/year at one hospice; ~50% of donations dirty or damaged) exceeds resale value.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
