      "heading": "Why existing arrangements retain an advantage",
      "point": "William Samuelson and Richard Zeckhauser (1988, Journal of Risk and Uncertainty) demonstrate status quo bias: presenting an option as the existing state of affairs can favour its retention."

      "point": "These articles do not evaluate a simplification intervention in Fribourg businesses and cannot substantiate a claim of local time savings."

      "heading": "A practical check in Fribourg",
      "point": "Within SHR’s “[Time Management & Prioritisation](/formation-gestion-du-temps-fribourg)” programme, one possible exercise in Fribourg is to compare the current procedure with a streamlined version of a recurring administrative workflow, such as an internal request in the agri-food sector, French–German documentation in bilingual industry or a project formality within the university hub."
