How MABAC Works in SolveRight

When you run a decision through SolveRight, MABAC is one of up to 155 frameworks that analyze your options simultaneously. The AI extractor identifies 3 key data points from your decision description, then the distance-based rubric computes a normalized 0-100 score for each option. This score is combined with results from other frameworks to produce your overall ranking, with contradiction detection highlighting where MABACdisagrees with other methodologies.

MABAC — Frequently Asked Questions

What is MABAC?+
Ranks alternatives by distance from border approximation area (above average = positive). In SolveRight, MABAC uses a distance-based rubric to compute a normalized 0–100 score for each option.
When should I use MABAC?+
MABAC is best suited for Decision Science (MCDA) decisions. It evaluates factors like criteria, weights, performance matrix, making it valuable when you need systematic multi-criteria analysis backed by decision theory.
How does SolveRight use MABAC?+
SolveRight runs MABAC alongside up to 154 other frameworks simultaneously. The AI extractor identifies 3 key data points from your decision description, then the distance-based rubric computes deterministic scores. If MABAC disagrees with other frameworks, contradiction detection highlights the divergence.
