Linguistic pairwise comparison matrices for decision-making need to be (strongly) order-consistent, which means the judgments should be (strongly) transitive. We introduce the equivalent conditions of (strong) transitivity by using route matrices and digraphs and develop an adjustment procedure to help decision makers correcting the inconsistency. The conclusion can extend to other ordinal-scaled or numerical comparison matrices as well.KeywordsDecision analysisVerbal decisionLinguistic modelingTransitivityAHP
