Description
Return max(0, required - present) for shortfall and present ≥ required for meetsQuorum.
Quorum, veto, delegation, and limit checks apply declared organizational rules to supplied records. Numeric consistency is separate from establishing actual authority or valid procedure.
Return max(0, required - present) for shortfall and present ≥ required for meetsQuorum.
When to use this tool
Use Decision Quorum Shortfall when you need a reproducible check against explicit governance inputs.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter present, required. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read shortfall, meetsQuorum. Inspect meetsQuorum before interpreting the associated values.

}Limitations and assumptions
- Required is an explicit count, not a fraction inferred from membership or an organizational rule.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the governing policy and verify membership, delegation, and decision records with the responsible authority.
