There may be cases where experts do not have in-depth knowledge of the problem to be solved in decision-making problems. In such cases, experts may fail to express their views on certain aspects of the problem, resulting in incomplete preferences, in which some preference values are not provided or are missing. In this article, we present a new model for group decision-making (GDM) methods in which experts' preferences can be expressed as incomplete Fermatean fuzzy preference relations. This model is guided by the additive-consistency property and only uses the preference values the expert provides. An additive consistency definition characterized by a Fermatean fuzzy priority vector has been given. The additive consistency property is also used to measure the level of consistency of the information provided by the experts. The proposed additive consistency definition's property is presented, as well as a model for obtaining missing judgments in incomplete Fermatean fuzzy preference relations. We present a method for adjusting the inconsistency for Fermatean fuzzy preference relations, a model for obtaining the priority vector, and a method for increasing the consensus degrees of Fermatean fuzzy preference relations. In addition, we present a GDM method in environments with incomplete Fermatean fuzzy preference relations. To show that our method outperforms existing GDM methods in incomplete Fermatean fuzzy preference relations environments, we have provided an example and compared it with some methods. It has been seen that our proposed GDM method is beneficial for GDM in deficient Fermatean fuzzy preference relation environments and produces meaningful results for us.
