2.   Establish weights of criteria.
3.   Score alternatives.
4.   See results.
Establish weights of criteria (1/3)
• Compare criteria in pairs, each time:
   • choose the more important one,
   • choose the level of dominance on a 9-point scale.
• Software transforms your comparisons into weights.
• Deriving weights from comparisons is based on Analytic
  Hierarchy Process.
Establish weights of criteria (2/3)

                                      This is your
                                         input
Establish weights of criteria (3/3)
Criterion               Weight
                                      Output from

Risk                      18%

Value to Customer         13%

Profitability             11%

Total                    100%
Prioritization process
1.   Define goal and criteria.
2.   Establish weights of criteria.
3.   Score alternatives.
4.   See results.
Score alternatives
Define rating scales that model your preferences (examples below)
and use them to score alternatives in context of criteria.

Value   Risk                              Value      Strategic alignment
  6     Very low                             0      Low
  4     Low
                                             1      Medium
  2     Moderate
  0     High                                 2      High
