N-RAFSI (Neutrosophic extension of RAFSI) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by UNCONFIRMED — Irvanizam & Zahara 2024 uses SVTraNN (trapezoidal), not SVNN. No SVN-RAFSI paper found. in undated — internal extension, no dedicated SVN-RAFSI paper. 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

n-rafsi extends RAFSI to handle Neutrosophic uncertainty. All arithmetic operations (normalisation, weighting, distance computation) are performed using Single-Valued Neutrosophic Set (SVNS: T, I, F; T,I,F ∈ [0,1], T+I+F ≤ 3) algebra. The final scores are defuzzified via score function S = (T − F + 1)/2 before ranking.

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.
