<u><big>An Example of an MBC decision</big></u>
In 2023 in a seminar Queen's University Belfast, the subject was the (forthcoming) border poll. Participants proposed a number of options; everything which did not clash with the UN Charter was allowed 'on the table' and computer screen; a ballot paper of seven options was compiled; all concerned then cast their preferences and the results - the consensus coefficient CC of each option - were as shown. A consensus coefficient is defined as
CC = <u>the option's MBC score</u>
the max possible MBC score
so a CC can very from a maximum of 1.00 to a minimum of 0.00.
