In this paper we consider the theory of strict preferences, compensatory and noncompensory methods. The first introduced intermediate semicompensatory ranking model, which is a superposition of two methods - the Bord method (being the compensatory method) and the threshold ratio of the preference (the method without compensations) is investigated. In this semi-compensatory model, the preference changes in step two. This paper contains an empirically found rule for ranking alternatives for the case where a change in preference occurs in the third step.
