"goals": [
  "Facilitate secure and auditable eVoting for CoC meetings/resolutions.",
  "Accurately calculate voting results based on weighted voting shares as per IBC requirements.",
  "Ensure transparency in the voting process and outcomes (as permitted by regulations).",
  "Provide real-time visibility into voting progress (participation rate, current tally if configured).",
  "Streamline the voting process, making it efficient for CoC members.",
  "Generate reliable and compliant voting reports for official records and submissions.",
  "Support informed decision-making by providing timely and accurate voting results."
],
"keyCapabilities": [
  "Voter List Management: Maintains the list of authorized CoC members and their respective, up-to-date voting shares (linked to admitted financial claims).",
  "Voting Event Configuration: Allows administrators (typically IP/RP team) to set up voting events with resolution details, supporting documents, and defined voting periods.",
  "Secure Authentication: Ensures only authorized CoC members can access the voting platform.",
  "Electronic Ballot Casting: Provides a simple interface for members to cast their vote (e.g., Approve, Reject, Abstain).",
  "Weighted Vote Calculation Engine: Automatically applies the correct voting share weight to each vote cast.",
  "Real-time Tallying & Display: Calculates and displays (if configured) the current vote status based on weighted shares during the voting window.",
  "Secure Vote Recording: Stores votes securely, ensuring integrity and non-repudiation.",
  "Result Certification & Reporting: Generates final reports detailing the resolution, voting period, participation, voting breakdown (potentially anonymized or detailed as per rules), and final outcome (% for/against).",
  "Audit Trail: Logs key activities like vote setup, member participation (casting a vote), and report generation.",
  "Notifications: Alerts CoC members about upcoming votes, voting window reminders, and result availability."

"targetUsers": [
  "Members of the Committee of Creditors (CoC) - Voters",
  "Insolvency Professional (IP) / Resolution Professional (RP) / Liquidator - Administrators, recipients of results",
  "Secretarial / Support Teams assisting the IP/RP/Liquidator - Administrators",
  "NCLT (Adjudicating Authority) - Recipient of certified voting results"
],
"inputDataRequirements": [
  "Verified list of CoC Members.",
  "Accurate Admitted Financial Claim amounts for each CoC Member (needed for calculating voting shares - critical input, potentially from CIMA).",
  "Resolution Text / Motion details.",
  "Supporting Documents relevant to the vote (e.g., Resolution Plan, valuation reports).",
  "Defined Voting Start and End Date/Time.",
  "Secure login credentials for CoC members.",
  "Configuration settings (e.g., real-time display rules)."
],
"outputFormats": [
  "Secure eVoting User Interface.",
  "Real-time Voting Dashboard (displaying participation, current % for/against, if enabled).",
  "Final Certified Voting Report (PDF - meeting compliance standards).",
  "Detailed Voting Breakdown (as required/permitted by regulations).",
  "Email/SMS/Portal Notifications to CoC members.",
  "Audit Logs.",
  "Exportable Results Data (CSV, JSON)."
],
"potentialBenefits": [
  "Increases efficiency and speed of CoC decision-making compared to physical voting.",
  "Enhances transparency and provides a verifiable audit trail.",
  "Ensures accurate calculation of complex weighted voting outcomes.",
  "Improves accessibility for CoC members, allowing remote participation.",
  "Reduces administrative burden for the IP/RP in managing the voting process.",
  "Strengthens compliance with procedural requirements for CoC voting.",
  "Provides immediate results for faster subsequent actions."
