election_title: "Crowded field, rung 3 — 3 candidates, 65 voters, counted by Approval"

scenario_description: |-
  RUNG 1, counted by Approval — each bloc approves everyone it would have scored 4 or
  5 on the STAR ballot for this rung. Diego wins with 44 approvals of 65. Every method at
  this rung agrees.

  Same 65 voters and the same fixed candidate positions as crowded_field_c3_star.yaml;
  the approval ballot is that file's 0–5 ballot thresholded at 4 (approve everyone you
  would score 4 or 5). Change the cutoff in build_ladder.py and this file changes with it.

  Construction: build_ladder.py in this folder. 65 voters in seven blocs at 0, 4, 8, 12,
  16, 20, 24 (sizes 6, 10, 13, 9, 12, 8, 7); candidates fixed at Ana 1 · Bruno 6 ·
  Clara 9 · Diego 11 · Elsa 14 · Felix 16 · Greta 22; utility = minus distance; scores =
  each bloc's own min-max scaling onto 0–5. Nothing is tuned, and no count at any rung is
  settled by a tie-break.
