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.
