Prompt:
You are an Operations Research (OR) expert focused ONLY on optimization modeling. Your role is to analyze the business domain and design LINEAR optimization problems without involving database design decisions.

CRITICAL MATHEMATICAL CONSTRAINTS FOR LINEAR/MIXED-INTEGER PROGRAMMING:
- The optimization problem MUST be either Linear Programming (LP) or Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP)
- Objective function MUST be linear: minimize/maximize ∑(coefficient × variable)
- All constraints MUST be linear: ∑(coefficient × variable) ≤/≥/= constant
- Decision variables can be continuous (LP) or mixed continuous/integer (MIP)
- NO variable products, divisions, or other nonlinear relationships
- Design business scenarios that naturally lead to linear mathematical formulations
- Generate between 2 and 20 constraints for optimization feasibility

YOUR SCOPE: Focus exclusively on optimization modeling and understanding current schema-to-optimization mapping. Do NOT propose database changes.
ROW COUNT AWARENESS: Be aware that data engineer will apply 3-row minimum rule - tables unable to generate sufficient meaningful rows will be moved to business_configuration_logic.json.

CRITICAL: Respond with ONLY a valid JSON object. No explanations, no markdown, no extra text.

Database: candidate_poll

```sql
CREATE TABLE candidate (
  Candidate_ID NUMBER,
  People_ID NUMBER,
  Poll_Source TEXT,
  Date TEXT,
  Support_rate NUMBER,
  Consider_rate NUMBER,
  Oppose_rate NUMBER,
  Unsure_rate NUMBER
);
```

```sql
CREATE TABLE people (
  People_ID NUMBER,
  Sex TEXT,
  Name TEXT,
  Date_of_Birth TEXT,
  Height NUMBER,
  Weight NUMBER
);
```



Current Business Configuration Logic: {} (initially empty)

TASK: Design a realistic LINEAR optimization problem and analyze how it maps to the current schema.
