There are a countless number of "Condorcet methods" possible that resolve such ambiguities. The fact that Marquis de Condorcet himself already spearheaded the debate of which particular Condorcet method to promote has made the term "Condorcet's method" ambiguous.
Indeed, it can be argued that the large number of different competing Condorcet methods has made the adoption of any single method extremely difficult.
Condorcet methods can generally be categorized into methods that can be computed with only the head-to-head matchups ([[Copeland]], defeat-droppers), those that require also some ranked information (Condorcet-IRV/Borda methods), or those that also use rated information (Condorcet-cardinal). Some of them use either ranked or rated information ([[:Category:Pairwise sorted methods|Category:Pairwise sorted methods]]).
Examples of Condorcet methods include:

*'''[[Copeland's method|Copeland]]''' selects the candidate that wins the most pairwise matchups minus the number of matchups it loses (or simply, wins the most matchups). Note that if there is no Condorcet winner, Copeland will often still result in a tie.
