Saaty's proposals for deriving a consistent ranking [see \textit{T. L. Saaty}, ''The analytical hierarchy process'' (1980; Zbl 0587.90002)] from a reciprocal matrix have generated a lively debate. This paper distinguishes between inference and description in consistency adjustment, offers an interpretation and a critique of the eigenvalue method of consistency adjustment, and discusses properties of the methods of weighted least squares and least lines, through which certain types of constraints may easily be imposed on the ranking.
