decisions. The various preferences should be weighted against each other and a percent importance should be applied to that characteristic as its weighting factor. All weighting factors should sum to 100%. A baseline technology should be selected with which to compare all the other technologies or solutions. A variance factor between the baseline and the alternative is assigned and put in the appropriate cell. Commonly -9, -3, -1, 0, 1, 3, 9 are the assigned variance levels. The assigned…
