What came back

What came back, and how much of it

Twenty-four returned in some form, at a median of just under half the load they carried before. The number that cuts against this site's own title.

Crept back 4

Four removals were written down with the week each of them stopped. Every one of them produced an event inside the 78 weeks watched. Of these, four crept back. Four of the eleven that crept back without anyone deciding.

What came back, and at what weight

Twenty-four of the thirty-eight returned in some form, at a median of just under half the load they carried before.

Six that came back whole

Six removals were reinstated exactly as they had been. Five followed an incident rather than a request, and that is why they came back at full weight.

Twelve that came back smaller

The largest group of returns came back at a median of forty per cent of the old load. Each one is a small negotiation that the original procedure never had.

Six that came back as something else

The cheapest returns on the record were substitutions, at a median of thirty-five per cent.

Creeping back is not a decision

Eleven procedures reappeared without anyone agreeing that they should.

The asking is the cheap signal

Eight removals were asked back, all of them inside twelve weeks, none of them expensive.

Why what returns returns cheaper

Returns on this record came back at a median of just under half weight, and the mechanism is a filter: somebody has to want a thing enough to restart it, and.

The number that cuts against the title

This site is named after its warning. The figure most likely to undermine that warning is on the front page, and the reason is a rule rather than a gesture.
