# Keep Quorum and Votes-Cast Majority Denominators Separate — Free

A majority of votes cast can exist without quorum, and quorum can exist with no votes cast. Put both denominators in the packet before asking a secretary whether the recorded motion followed the committee's actual rules.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Volunteer committee secretaries reconciling vote counts

## What's free

- one complete unwatermarked quorum-rule packet run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- unlimited subsequent quorum-rule packet app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the quorum-rule packet with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed motions meeting modeled rule and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups
