1. Steps 1-3 (paper Eqs 5-6): For each expert E_h providing a PFS importance assessment, compute crisp score Sc(E_h) = (μ_h + (1−η_h) + (1−ν_h))/3; then expert weights w_h = Sc(E_h) / Σ_k Sc(E_k).
Sc(Eh)=(muh+(1−etah)+(1−nuh))/3;wh=Sc(Eh)/sumkSc(Ek)
2. Build per-expert per-criterion PFS assessment matrix Z̃_{hj} (h=expert, j=criterion). Compute crisp Z_{hj} = Sc(Z̃_{hj}) = (μ_{hj} + (1−η_{hj}) + (1−ν_{hj}))/3.
Zhj=(muhj+(1−etahj)+(1−nuhj))/3
3. Column-sum normalisation across experts: Ỹ_{hj} = Z_{hj} / Σ_h Z_{hj}. Each column sums to 1.
Ynormhj=Zhj/sumhZhj
4. Expert-weighted matrix L_{hj} = Ỹ_{hj} · w_h.
Lhj=Ynormhj∗wh
5. Steps 8-10 (Eqs 10-13): Per criterion j compute Y_j = max_h L_{hj}, X_j = min_h L_{hj}, range B_j = Y_j − X_j (paper's Γ_j), then w_j = B_j / Σ_j B_j.
Yj=maxhLhj;Xj=minhLhj;Bj=Yj−Xj;wj=Bj/sumjBj
6. After a second elicitation round producing w_j^{(2r)}, compute Reliability Index RI = Σ_j |w_j·100 − w_j^{(2r)}·100| / 100. Require RI < 0.1 for acceptance. Second-round data is not part of the synthetic Block J fixture.
RI=sumj∣wj∗100−wj(2r)∗100∣/100(requiressecond−roundwj(2r))
