I mostly did it semi-manually, just trying in excel to better understand
each (the first example, with Condorcet). I then checked it with one site,
probably when I changed something up because of that is when Bucklin
switched.
The second example case from just modifying the first one. I also thought
if I'd really get into it I'd just try random ones, but with certain
restrictions to make it faster. That's what I did when I did the same thing
for different PR apportionment formulas.
