Multicriteria Decision Analysis

Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is a method that helps people and organizations make complex choices involving multiple factors. Instead of focusing on just one aspect, MCDA considers various criteria—like cost, quality, time, and risks—to evaluate options fairly. Each option is scored based on how well it meets each criterion, and then these scores are combined to identify the most balanced or optimal choice. It provides a structured way to compare trade-offs and make informed decisions when multiple, often conflicting, priorities are involved.
