Sustainability Criteria-Level Preference Ranking
PROSA-C (Sustainability Criteria-Level Preference Ranking) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Ziemba, P. in 2019. 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
Use PROSA-C when criteria have different sustainability profiles (ESG) and these should influence weight allocation.
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
- Results depend on the chosen normalisation, weights, and parameter settings.
