Outranking relations are most often built using a concordance-discordance principle. Such relations are, in general, neither transitive nor complete. This is not to say that the concordance-discordance principle does not impose some "structural" restrictions on these relations. We show why this question may be of some importance for analyzing the various techniques designed to build a recommend...
