Because the [[Negative vote-counting approach for pairwise counting]] can involve some voters giving 1 vote to both candidates in a matchup, it can be worth thinking of the support a candidate has in a matchup as an [[approval rating]] i.e. both candidates might have majority-"approval". In these cases, if you're looking to get the tightest possible upper bound on number of voters that prefer one candidate or the other, then you can subtract the smallest x number of votes from both candidates in the matchup such that their combined number of votes is less than or equal to the total number of voters in the election.
When doing negative pairwise counting, it's possible to count 1st choices separately from other ranks, with voters who rank multiple candidates 1st potentially being counted separately too. See [[Pairwise counting#Uses for first choice information]].
