So it is POT. Proof of Trust. If you break it, it is crackpot and goes up in smoke /s I am not familiar with this Quorums consensus mechanism, but in general I feel - especially given the scammy veil surrounding the entire field - that it is quite early to adopt such as-yet unproven technology in production software that is widely used by people where security and privacy (among others) is utterly important.

They are using Byzantine Fault Tolerant Quorums. That is just a class of majority election algorithms that is tolerant to the presence of evil participants. But in short, it is just the majority of servers allowed to vote, so either proof of stake or a cartel. What they neglected to specify is the difference there: "who is allowed to vote?"
