What is it about?
There is a theory which meets a prescription of the efficient and effective multicriteria decision making support system called the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). It seems to be the most widely used approach in the world today, as well as the most validated methodology for decision making. The consistency measurement of human judgments appears to be the crucial problem in this concept.

Why is it important?
This research paper redefines the idea of the triad’s consistency within the pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) and proposes a few seminal indices for PCM consistency measurement. The quality of new propositions is then studied with application of computer simulations.
Perspectives
The AHP seems to be the most widely used MCDM approach in the world today, as well the most validated methodology. The AHP allows DM to set priorities and make choices on the basis of their objectives, knowledge and experiences in a way that is consistent with their intuitive thought process. The process permits accurate priorities to be derived from verbal judgments even though the words themselves may not be very precise. That is why special attention is given to issues associated with consistency of DM judgments.
