Abstract
As we hope the many examples in this book have shown, multicriteria analysis can be tremendously useful. Light can be shed on what tradeoffs, uncertainties, and value judgments are crucial to the decision, and what issues do not matter. MCDM provides a logical way of structuring thinking and discussions about what is important. By better understanding what is at stake, and by exploring the implications of tentative value judgments, you can form priorities and make recommendations with more confidence.
