Consistency Ratio

The Consistency Ratio is a measure used to evaluate how logically consistent and reliable a set of judgments or decisions are—in particular, when comparing multiple options or criteria. For example, if you believe A is better than B, B is better than C, then logically, A should be better than C. The Consistency Ratio quantifies whether your ratings follow such logical consistency. A low ratio indicates your judgments are consistent, whereas a high ratio suggests inconsistency or contradictions, implying that the decision process may need review or adjustment.
