How many University Chancellery teams are approaching their policy like an engineering company designing an airplane, or an open source project designing APIs? Uni policy remains a mediaeval process of heralding dictums from the balconies of ivory towers. 🎺 🥁 👑

How then do we know which researcher was able to optimise the amount of ARC funding they received? And what quasi sanctions could be put in place to encourage greater efficiency of ARC funding?

Let's play a game, with the following parameters: 1. Number of researchers = 10; 2. All researchers are paid equally and have equal scholarly standing, h-index = 5 3. All have shared values for equal rights to ARC funding; 4. All are part of the same discipline, same vocabulary

The irony of gov't analysis is the desire to count via granular measurement, e.g how many OA papers are published; where 'graduated sanctions' like zones and/or quasi boundaries provide approximation and lossy participation.

Why do institutions get policy so wrong? 1st: gross simplification of analysts for the permutations for policy implementation (mean: 75k game/policy situations); 2nd: 'rules without teeth' aka policy without sanction weakens the institutional commons.

@CameronNeylon these remind me of Ostrom's common good IAD action situation maps: where's the graduated sanctions to increase efficiency?
