I run a review step that sends the same question to two models from different vendors and reads back structured verdicts. On one batch of four rulings the two legs picked different answers on two of them.
A 1–1 split between two voters is not a tie you can break by counting. It is a coin flip.
Both splits resolved cleanly anyway, and neither resolution involved the picks. It involved what both legs had thrown away.
A panel of two is not a smaller panel of three
