Description
For positive totalSeats, require coalitionSeats within total.
Quorum, veto, delegation, and limit checks apply declared organizational rules to supplied records. Numeric consistency is separate from establishing actual authority or valid procedure.
For positive totalSeats, require coalitionSeats within total.
When to use this tool
Use Coalition Seat Majority Margin when you need a reproducible check against explicit governance inputs.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter coalitionSeats, totalSeats. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read majorityRequired, margin, hasMajority. Inspect hasMajority before interpreting the associated values.
For positive totalSeats, require coalitionSeats within total. Set majorityRequired to floor(total/2) + 1 and return coalition minus that threshold and an inclusive majority flag.1

| totalSeats | Total Seats | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

| majorityRequired | Majority Required | Required. Safe integer. |
| margin | Signed allowance remaining under the subtraction order above. | Required. Safe integer. |
| hasMajority | Has Majority | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- This is a strict majority of all supplied seats, not necessarily a chamber's voting, vacancy, or confidence 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.
