Claim
A claim is one person taking one spot on an option. Where an option (or slot) is the thing being offered, a claim is the act of a single respondent reserving it.
Also called: claim a spot, take a slot
The distinction matters for capacity: an option with three spots can hold three claims before it is full. Thinking in claims rather than people makes capacity, waitlists, and quantity selection easier to reason about, especially when one person claims several spots at once.
