My first critique (only having skimmed this so far), is that this doesn’t seem to address what I consider the most important element for replacement voting systems, which is an actual plan of action that leads to them getting adopted. I have a knee-jerk response to elaborate voting systems that are theoretically an improvement but which seem to be designed around an assumption of mass adoption in a major country.
I think a system like this will need to get adopted in either:
A small town
An online community
A corporation
A nonprofit
Or some other place where it’s plausible to get the momentum necessary to try it out. And I think the practicalities of this should probably shape some of the considerations of the system itself. (I also think you’d optimize a system somewhat differently for a corporation, an online community, a nonprofit or a small town, and I’d like to see more voting systems are that are actually targeted towards a more specific use case)

Fully agreed—the intention is to start with small-scale clubs and parts of private organizations that are open to experimenting.
