{{tag|Consensus}} polling is about winning together or refusing to play the game.  Because it can be a laborious process, it is most appropriate when a group of individuals must {{tag|collective}}ly solve a problem that affects them all.  It seeks to avoid voting for candidate options (see [[Meatball:VotingIsEvil]]) when such a vote would generate winners and losers and thus divide the community that must support the result of the collective decision.

Rather than a menu of candidates to choose from, the entire process is controlled by an evolving Yes/No vote.  The vote reflects the suitability of a single community-owned solution being generated through a process of {{tag|Collaboration|collaborative}} {{tag|collective intelligence}}.  All participants are free to change their {{tag|vote}} at any time.  A yes vote says "I believe the current articulation of our solution is good enough," a no vote says "I have concerns that haven't been adequately addressed by the current solution."  Only when the Yes votes pass some very high, pre-specified threshold (e.g., 90%) can the solution proposed be considered to reflect the {{tag|consensus}} of the {{tag|community}}.
