shared no name with the top

Similarity is rank-biased overlap against each award's final order of finish — 1.00 is the consensus exactly, 0.00 shares no name with it. It measures how unusual a ballot was, not whether it was right: if the panel gets a season wrong, the voter who got it right scores as the outlier.
