After reading the ballots into the N*N matrix, look for the strongest
candidate - the CW or what is found in the cycle when there is no CW.
This fills the first seat. Then amend the matrix to exclude this CW
and look in the matrix for whoever would be CW in the remainder. In
each step the search is for the "strongest remaining candidate" in the
amended matrix.

Why transfers?
At least, when I said do a CW type search for the strongest
remaining candidate, I thought of this as adequate without
transfers. I do think of quitting if the remainder are too weak:
. Anyway, quit after filling the limit of seats to fill.
. Quit anyway if remainder are too weak to deserve a seat.
I'm not really following what you mean by "strongest remaining
candidate".
