election_title: "Nine candidates, 25 voters — ranking only five, counted by Ranked Robin"

scenario_description: |-
  THE CAP CHANGES THE WINNER. Same 25 voters, same Ranked Robin rule as
  bv2280_37yf8x_rr_full.yaml. The only difference is that each voter may name
  five candidates instead of nine — and Gus wins instead of Finn.

  Finn is the Condorcet winner on the electorate's real preferences. What the cap removes
  is the evidence: only 16 of the 25 voters can fit Finn into five names at all. For the
  other 9 Finn is simply absent from the paper, and an absent candidate wins no
  head-to-head.

  This is the reversal worth remembering. A ranked ballot is usually called the more
  expressive one, and at full resolution it is. Capped at five names out of nine it
  records 3,620 distinct opinions where the 0–5 score ballot records 10,077,696 — and
  here it loses an answer that six rungs kept.

  Convention, stated: a candidate left unranked is counted as beaten by everyone the
  voter did rank, and tied with everyone else the voter left off. Other treatments split
  that unstated pair half-and-half. It is a choice, not arithmetic, and it belongs in
  any quotation of this result.

  Construction: build_cases.py in this folder. 25 voters and 9 candidates at frozen
  positions on one spectrum — Ada −0.73 · Ben −0.37 · Cleo −0.18 · Dev −0.17 ·
  Emma −0.11 · Finn +0.24 · Gus +0.41 · Hugo +0.80 · Iris +0.84; utility = minus the
  distance; scores = each voter's own min-max scaling onto 0–5; rankings = those same
  utilities in order. Nothing is tuned to the result, and **no count in this folder is
  settled by a tie-break** — that was a search constraint, so every winner here survives
  any lot rule.
