readyConsensus lets a group of processes agree on an ordered sequence of decisions despite specified failures. Raft separates leader election, log replication, and safety rules into understandable mechanisms. It assumes crash failures and a communication network that can delay, drop, or reorder messages.

Use the stages in order to explain raft uses terms and quorums to choose a leader. Each stage makes one assumption visible: what the operation promises, what representation it uses, how state changes, which boundary can invalidate a shortcut, and what evidence confirms the result.
