yogsoth-ai Weight Elicitation
Purpose: Determine relative weights for evaluation criteria through structured methods, supporting AHP, Swing, BWM, MACBETH, Simos, and other weighting methods.
When to use:
- Need to determine criteria importance ranking and quantified weights
- Multiple stakeholders disagree on weights
- Need to compare result differences across weighting methods
Budget
| Base SOP | Target | ±10% Range |
|---|---|---|
| criterion-definition | 5-8 criteria | 4-9 |
| weight-elicitation-sop | ≥2 methods | 2-3 |
| rank-comparison | 1 comparison | 1 |

Execution Guidance
- Invoke criterion-definition to confirm criteria to be weighted
- Select >=2 weighting methods (recommended: AHP + BWM or Swing + Simos)
- Invoke weight-elicitation-sop separately for each method to compute weights
- Invoke rank-comparison to compare weight ranking consistency
- If significant differences exist, analyze causes and select the most suitable method for the scenario
- Output final weight vector
Output Format
## Weight Determination Results
### Weight Comparison
| Criterion | AHP Weight | BWM Weight | Average | Difference |
|-----------|------------|------------|---------|------------|
### Consistency Check
- AHP CR: [value] (< 0.1 ✓)
- BWM ξ*: [value]
### Final Weights
| Criterion | Weight | Rank |
|-----------|--------|------|
### Method Selection Rationale
[Why the chosen method's weights are used as the final result]
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| multi-method-triangulation | Apply 2-3 MCDA methods to the same candidates, compare rankings, and identify method-sensitive options. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| criterion-definition | Extract evaluation criteria from research goals and candidate alternatives. |
| weight-elicitation-sop | Compute criteria weights using a specified elicitation method (AHP, Swing, BWM, MACBETH, or Simos). |
