The Analytical Hierarchy Process $($AHP$)$ breaks the broad criterion categories of other selection models into smaller, more manageable pieces that each has a more defined focus. This allows the AHP to create a more accurate ordering of priorities than other models. It also enables a better demonstration of how potential alternatives meet organizational goals and strategy. Weighting that is absent or inefficient under the checklist and scoring model is improved. AHP allows weighting by main and subcriterion, which eliminates the double counting of the scoring model.

The pairwise comparison approach used in the AHP:

Group of answer choices

May be used if time is limited$.$

Is a method to split the weights assigned to subcriteria.

Is a method to compare pairs of hierarchies prior to any further analysis.

Is a means of achieving all project objectives within the allocated time frame.
