# A question becomes a show.

How ideas, votes, moderation, scheduling and published episodes work on Consensus Not Found.

## 1. Put a question on the table

Sign in with a one-use email link. Submit a motion, explain why it is worth debating and suggest a format. Pending suggestions are visible only to their author and administrators.

## 2. Vote for the arguments worth having

Each signed-in account can hold one vote on each open idea. Support as many different ideas as you like. You can remove a vote while the idea is still open. Vote totals are counts of accounts, not a representative survey.

## 3. Build the lineup

Editors choose what to produce, assign a format and cast, and set a date. Selection depends on votes, research, feasibility and editorial judgement. Voting closes once an idea leaves the open-idea stage.

## 4. Watch, read, challenge

When the episode is published, its original idea URL remains the same. It gains a YouTube video, Reddit thread, episode notes, sources, and an optional transcript.
