What a claim record is How to read this page

One statement, bounded on purpose

The headline is a single claim that a named source supports. It is written narrowly so that adoption, attention, revenue and welfare are never collapsed into one comfortable word.

The three sections below the fold

What this does not establish is the boundary of the evidence. Counterevidence & uncertainty is what argues the other way. What would change the reading is the observation that would move it. A record missing any of the three is incomplete, not merely brief.

Primary routes are checkable

Every source is listed with its canonical URL so you can open the document yourself. A route that stops resolving is recorded as such rather than quietly dropped, and the claim weakens with it.

MWITA-CPCO-2026-010 · Evidence A · P1

What this does not establish

The study does not establish the same elasticity under nondrought conditions, unmetered service, other price regimes or commercial and industrial users.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

Technical conservation information alone was weak; adding social comparison materially increased conservation, but the effect was neither uniform nor permanently stable.

What would change the reading

Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and deployed commercial, civic or human outcomes.
