Break the goal into criteria (e.g., cost, risk, scalability) and sub-criteria. Developed by Thomas Saaty and popularized in texts

One of the most robust frameworks for navigating these complexities is the . Developed by Thomas Saaty and popularized in texts like Strategic Decision Making: Applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process by Navneet Bhushan and Kanwal Rai, AHP provides a structured technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions. The AHP Framework in Action Clearly state the ultimate goal or problem

Applying AHP involves decomposing a strategic problem into a hierarchy of sub-problems, which are then evaluated through a series of pairwise comparisons. This process ensures that both qualitative and quantitative factors are weighed accurately.

Clearly state the ultimate goal or problem.

Instead of arbitrary scoring, AHP asks decision-makers to compare two elements at a time to determine their relative importance.
