The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) provides a decision maker with a way of examining the consistency of entries in a pairwise comparison matrix and the hierarchy as a whole through the consistency ratio measure. It has always seemed to us that this commonly used measure could be improved upon. The

✦ Synopsis
In this paper we present a new, intrinsic and scale independent consistency threshold for reciprocal matrices in the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Its derivation is based upon the relation between the consistency measure of the AHP and the reduction of weight of a new alternative. We compare this standard with an existing one.
