MethodsCondorcet methods that always produce Condorcet rankings (and also Smith rankings) include [[Copeland's method]], [[Pairwise Sorted Methods]], [[Schulze]], [[Ranked Pairs]], and [[Kemeny-Young]]. [[Instant Pairwise Elimination]] is a non-Condorcet method that always produces a Condorcet ranking when one exists.
 
Smith set rankings can be given additional context by showing for each Smith set the weakest pairwise victory anyone in that Smith set has against anyone in a lower-ranked Smith set; one generalized way to show strength of victory is by % of votes earned in the matchup, which will always be over 50% for the pairwise winner. So, for example, if there are 4 candidates, with 3 of them in a cycle and each of them having a 65%, 60%, and 55% victory respectively against the fourth candidate, then 55% could be used to describe the minimum strength of all of the candidates in the set against the lower-ranked candidate.
