Enhancing consistency of AHP-based expert judgements: A new approach and its implementation in an interactive tool by Shimon Frish, Irit Talmor, Omer Hadar, Maxim Shoshany, Aviad Shapira

“…In future developments, the tool could also be adapted to incorporate clustering techniques for managing complex criteria sets, or extended to support group decision making by assessing consensus levels and recommending minimal adjustments. • AHP-based pairwise comparisons of n criteria by experts are recorded in an n × n reiprocal preference matrix whose eigenvalu λmax is used to compute the consistency ratio (CR) of the resulting priority vector. • An iterative greedy algorithm developed to enhance the consistency of the solution in case CR>10% enforces minimal intervention by limiting the adjustment to single-step modifications on unaltered pairwise comparisons only. • The algorithm is implemented in an interactive, user-friendly software tool, ensuring transparency and expert engagement through real-time, traceable consistency refinement.…”
