What you described is precisely a voting system (though not a good one) and so we have all the usual problems. > Meaning, I believe it is acceptable for the resulting tally to violate the > wishes of individual priorities. > I don't know what you mean by "violate the wishes of individual priorities". The task here is to try to come to an overall decision that aggregates people's individual preferences.

With that said, there's a huge literature on voting systems so no doubt one of the many well-known systems (Approval, IRV, ...) can be used without the need for us to invent something new. -Ekr
