# AHP Weighting

Use the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) to determine scoring-dimension weights, outputting a weight vector.

## HARD-GATE

<HARD-GATE>
- The number of input dimensions must be in the range [2, 9] (AHP applicability range)
- The elements of the output weight vector must sum to 1.0 (±0.001 tolerance allowed)
- The consistency ratio CR must be computed and reported; if CR > 0.1 a warning must be flagged
</HARD-GATE>

## Pipeline

1. **Precondition check**: verify the dimension list is non-empty and its count is in the range [2, 9]
2. **Dimension list confirmation**: output the dimension list for the caller to confirm; if a comparison matrix is already provided, skip to step 4
3. **Pairwise comparison matrix construction**: for each pair of dimensions (i, j) assign a Saaty scale value (1-9); the matrix must satisfy a[j][i] = 1/a[i][j]
4. **Eigenvector computation**: normalize each column then take row means to obtain the priority vector (weights)
5. **Consistency ratio check**: compute the largest eigenvalue λ_max → consistency index CI = (λ_max - n)/(n-1) → CR = CI/RI (look up the Saaty RI table); CR < 0.1 is acceptable
6. **Output**: return the AHPWeights object; if CR > 0.1 attach revision suggestions
