Option 1: Enter an absolute number
Developing a numeric rating scale Numeric rating scales capture numbers Only 2 values are required on your scale, but additional
points may be entered Points in between defined values are calculated on a
straight line – a value of $100 gets a rating of 0.7 in this example

Alternative Categories can be filtered for display and analysis.
Each Alternative “Group” will have multiple “Categories” which are used to further assign specific attributes to the alternatives

Inconsistency and Alignment
Alignment measures the relative difference between group votes and individual votes on pairwise comparisons
Maximum alignment is 100%. Is this desirable?
Minimum alignment is 0%. What might this suggest?
Ideally, alignment ranges from 40% to 80%
Inconsistent comparisons are presented and the top 3 are the ones with the most inconsistency.
The acceptable threshold of inconsistency is .10. This may require changing one or more judgments. If the Inconsistency is fairly close to zero, no action is necessary.

Decision Lens will display the top three Pairwise comparisons that are contributing the most to the inconsistency ratings resulting from the most recent voting. For these comparisons, the system will show the effect on inconsistency if it is resolved through re-voting on that specific comparison

Inconsistency and Alignment
57
Feature Definition Use Helpful Hint
Inconsistency
The consistency of the judgments is tracked using the rigorous math analytics behind the AHP to validate the decision process.
If the group’s (not an individual’s) inconsistency is more than .10, certain pairwise comparisons should be revisited to ensure that logical integrity is kept
Individual’s inconsistency will always be higher than the groups. Groups are known to be more accurate and consistent.
Having good consistency does not mean you are closer to the “right answer” in the decision
Alignment
The final priorities in the Priority Graph tell you the mix of values for the group; the Alignment Index score tells you how close that Priority Graph was for all the individuals as compared to the group average.
The largest score in the Alignment Index is 100, indicating that the final weighted priorities for each individual came out exactly the same as the final weighted priorities for the group.There is no action regardless of the Alignment number.
The Alignment at the group level describes the percentage of the time the group voted in a similar manner.
The Alignment percentage at the individual shows how often they voted with the group

Visualize Introduction
The Visualize tab offers several ways of visualizing complex data sets in order to better understand the information and to more effectively analyze data for discovery (e.g. to identify relationships, trends, outliers, patterns, and business conditions).
Each of the visualizations focus on a different aspect of the decision process. All of the data visualizations include view options and can display custom priority sets and allocation scenarios.

Funding Results Names, Value, Descriptions
Funded Projects with the highest value per dollar spent , get completely funded
Partially Funded Projects with a high value and high cost will only get partially funded
Not Funded Low value / highest cost projects will not get funded
