How Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) Works in SolveRight

When you run a decision through SolveRight, Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) 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 weighted-sum 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 Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)disagrees with other methodologies.

Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) — Frequently Asked Questions

What is Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)?+
Formal multi-criteria evaluation combining multiple scoring methods. In SolveRight, Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) uses a weighted-sum rubric to compute a normalized 0–100 score for each option.
When should I use Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)?+
Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) 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 Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)?+
SolveRight runs Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) alongside up to 154 other frameworks simultaneously. The AI extractor identifies 3 key data points from your decision description, then the weighted-sum rubric computes deterministic scores. If Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) disagrees with other frameworks, contradiction detection highlights the divergence.
