    The definition of a worst-case scenario varies by the field to which it is being applied. For example, in environmental engineering", "[a] worst-case scenario is defined as the release of the largest quantity of a regulated substance from a single vessel or process line failure that results in the greatest distance to an endpoint".

    One approach can be to create all positive elements into one scenario and all negative elements (relative to the current situation) in another scenario, then refining these.

Some ...

    We can calculate the probability of seeing the paradox for the special case where voter preferences are uniformly distributed among the candidates. (This is the "impartial culture" model, which is known to be a "worst-case scenario" [4] [5]: 40 [6]: 320 [7] —most models show substantially lower probabilities of Condorcet cycles.)
