Do the mathematical techniques in Priorities Now produce arbitrary figures and transformations?
Priorities Now uses a set of reliable, validated mathematical methods which together form a coherent, validated mathematical model. None of the figures or “transformations” are in any sense arbitrary. It is not arbitrary, for example, to apply the rule that if a decision-maker maintains that A is more important than B, and B than C, then it would be logical for him to maintain that A is more important than C.
