Plithogenic MABAC (with BWM weighting and Rough Number uncertainty)
PL-MABAC (Plithogenic MABAC (with BWM weighting and Rough Number uncertainty)) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Pamučar, D. Ćirović, G. in 2015. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result.

When to use it
S_i > 0 means alternative is above BAA (upper approximation area G+, better than border). S_i < 0 means below BAA (G−, worse). Rank by S_i descending.
Strengths & limitations
- 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.
- May exhibit rank reversal when alternatives are added to or removed from the set.
