contingent ranking

Contingent ranking is a way of ordering options based on specific conditions or contexts. Instead of ranking choices outright, you evaluate how they perform or are preferred under certain circumstances. For example, a person might prefer coffee in the morning but tea in the afternoon. The ranking of preferences depends on the situation, making the order "contingent" or dependent on the context. It helps understand how preferences change based on different factors, providing a flexible measure of choice that adapts to varying conditions or environments.
