Source: Dan S. Felsenthal (2010), Appendix A2, Example 2 — see bv2145_6fj2kg_irv.yaml for the full citation and setup. The same 17 ranked ballots counted by Ranked Robin (Copeland): Ada wins both her head-to-heads (Ben 9–8, Cleo 9–8) — 2 pairwise wins, the Condorcet winner, elected directly. What the runoff procedure's elimination order threw away, the round-robin count keeps.

Smith set (1 of 3): Ada Outside (2): Ben, Cleo One member ⇒ Ada is the Condorcet winner, beating every rival head-to-head. Ranked Robin (RCV-RR) winner Ada is INSIDE the Smith set. ✓ Guaranteed: Ranked Robin (Copeland) is Smith-efficient — every member of the set outscores every outsider, so the top of the win–loss table is always inside the set, however the tie among them is then broken.
