Mechanism
Count the students who said they intended to transfer, count the ones who did, and publish the gap internally. It is the one practice in the corpus with a clean before-and-after institutional figure attached, and the mechanism is political rather than analytical: the gap is what breaks faculty resistance to reform.
Preconditions
Intent captured at intake, and a Clearinghouse match to find where students went.
