| Research Type | Experimental | We performed numerical tests on our power measure to test the impact of the different parameters. For each experiment, we estimate the criticality of voters by sampling over delegation-partitions due to the long runtimes required for exact calculations. Colley et al. [2023] give the sampling details as well as additional experimental results. |

| Pseudocode | No | No pseudocode or clearly labeled algorithm blocks were found in the paper. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not provide an unambiguous statement or link for the open-sourcing of the code for the described methodology. |
| Open Datasets | No | The paper describes 'numerical tests' and 'simulated examples' based on their defined models and parameters, such as specific voter weights and network structures. It does not use or provide access to a traditional publicly available dataset for training. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper describes simulated experiments and numerical tests, not machine learning experiments with traditional datasets. Therefore, it does not specify training, validation, or test dataset splits. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware used for running its numerical tests or simulations. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper does not provide specific software dependencies with version numbers used to replicate the experiments. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | We set |V|=100 and look at two different amounts of delegatees, |Vv| {20, 50}. In Figure 2, when pd = 0 we obtain the standard voting model where all agents vote directly and thus have the same chance of being critical. [...] We have |V|=100 voters, with 50 voters (resp. 30 and 20) having weight 1 (resp. 2 and 5). The quota of the WVG remains q = 0.5. [...] This experiment sampled over 100,000 delegations partitions. [...] and sampled over 10,000 delegations partitions. |
