Return Visit
A later stay on the same floor after the kit, the stores routine, or the locker layout has changed — to see what actually stuck.
A Return Visit only makes sense if we have already written an account of the same kit family on the same site. The point is comparison: after you moved the gloves, relabelled the cage, or stopped issuing the item nobody touched, did the floor change?
We use the same rooms, the same tally points, and as far as possible the same shifts. We do not pretend the second visit is independent of the first; the earlier account is the baseline. New interviews are short and aimed at what people noticed after the change, not at repeating the whole story.
Two days is typical. A third day is quoted when night shift was part of the original study. From $2,200, with travel treated as on the first visit if the site is outside the ACT.
Book it only after the change has had time to become ordinary. A return the week after a memo is circulated usually records the memo, not the new habit.
