Twelve courts, one case each

How each realm rules

Every advisor seated in their own kingdom, deciding alone, on the same dilemma and the same seed. There is no majority and no chair: the useful output is the split.

2 distinct verdicts across 12 courts: refuse, substitute-cohort.

Where the realms disagree most

Two realms whose margin sits on opposite sides of the case, ranked by how far apart their confidence is. A realm that rules decisively for an option that its rival rejects confidently is a more interesting object than either verdict alone.
