Your sticker budget
One per idea, 5 total. Floor is one vote.
5 places are held for overlooked ideas — nominate one with a link, and it counts once 2 people agree the source is relevant.

At stage close one nominee enters by random draw and the rest by nomination count, at most one per stakeholder class.
