Multimedia Condorcet Sorter

👉 Instructions
📝 Background

The Condorcet method is an election method where, by randomly doing many 1-on-1 elections and recoding who wins each time, candidates can be sorted by preference without explicit ranking.

Wikipedia

This method was used by Tom Scott in his 2020 YouTube video, "What Is The Best Thing" to efficiently sort a massive set of candidates that would be impractical to sort via ranking.

This website aims to implement this practice in a user-friendly manner, enabling everyday persons to use this method with little training.

This project also makes a particular effort to allow Condorcet comparisons of multiple media types rather than only text information.



🔎 How to Use
  1. Upload a group of files, 1 for each distinct "candidate" being evaluated. For example, if evaluating 42 individuals, create 42 text files, each containing the candidate in question's name.
  2. Click the Cyan links below each preview, selecting the preferred option.
  3. After the desired number of iterations, review the results section at the bottom of the page.
