When to use it
QR-CoCoSo (Peng-Huang 2020 / Kuvvetli 2023). Each q-ROFN cell is reduced to a crisp score r_ij = μ^q − ν^q − ln(1 + π^q) that explicitly penalises hesitancy (Step 1). Scores are min-max normalised per criterion to [0, 1] with benefit/cost direction handled here (Step 2). Two compromise sequences are computed: S_i (weighted sum) and P_i (weighted-power sum). Three appraisal scores k_a (additive ratio), k_b (sum of min-ratios), k_c (balanced λ-ratio, default λ = 0.5) combine S and P. Final k_i = ∛(k_a·k_b·k_c) + (k_a+k_b+k_c)/3 is ranked descending. q parameter is analyst-specified (paper defaul
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.
- Assumes full compensation — a strong score on one criterion can offset a weak score on another.
