Thus, in essence, CWP can be thought of as a defeat strength definition. If A pairwise defeats B, CWP finds the strength of the defeat as follows:
Thus, in essence, CWP can be thought of as a defeat strength definition. If A pairwise defeats B, CWP finds the strength of the defeat as follows:


'''For each voter who ranks A over B, and only for these voters, subtract B’s rating from A’s rating, to get the rating differential. Sum these rating differentials to get the defeat strength.'''

The name "cardinal pairwise" also implies that a Smith-efficient, defeat-dropping base method will be used, for example [[Schulze method|Schulze]], [[ranked pairs]], or [[river]].
