It pays to be careful when rearranging topics.
Here is a quote from Wikipedia, where they have to be careful:
In voting systems, the Smith set, named after John H. Smith, is the
smallest non-empty set of candidates in a particular election such
that each member beats every other candidate outside the set in a
pairwise election.
"beats" is what I went looking for. Note that such as "1st rank
level" are not mentioned - most CW s and cycle members are such, but
the definition does not demand that all such be first rank.

I should have just
said "Smith set", because that concisely says what I meant.
Condorcet-Top (CT):
The winner is the Smith set member who is ranked at 1st rank level
on the most ballotss.
