Stratified Best Worst Method
Stratified BWM is an extension of the Best Worst Method that applies the BWM logic recursively across multiple hierarchical layers. Instead of weighting criteria at a single level, it identifies the best and worst criterion within each level of a hierarchy, then aggregates weights across levels. This enables more realistic modeling of complex decision problems with natural hierarchical structures.
