Balanced SPOTIS — Balanced Stable Preference Ordering Towards Ideal Solution
BALANCED-SPOTIS (Balanced SPOTIS — Balanced Stable Preference Ordering Towards Ideal Solution) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Shekhovtsov, A., Dezert, J., Sałabun, W. in 2025. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result.
Key highlights
- Follows a transparent, reproducible computational procedure that can be audited step by step.
- Handles multiple criteria of differing scales and units within a single decision matrix.

When to use it
Lower P_i = better. α=0 → identical to standard SPOTIS (ISP only). α=1 → only ESP matters. α=0.5 balanced.
Strengths & limitations
Strengths
- Follows a transparent, reproducible computational procedure that can be audited step by step.
- Handles multiple criteria of differing scales and units within a single decision matrix.
Limitations
- Assumes full compensation — a strong score on one criterion can offset a weak score on another.
