  1. Rating Evaluation

    Depending on how the Project Manager set up the evaluation, you will be asked to rate one event with respect to one threat/objective on each screen, or all events with respect to one threat/objective on each screen, or one event with respect to all ...
  2. Multi-pairwise Graphical/Numerical Comparisons

    Pairwise graphical/numerical comparisons can be used to express your judgment about the relative importance or preference or likelihoods of the two elements shown on each line. The multi-pairwise verbal comparison composes of: The question for...
  3. Downgrade Model (Version Not Supported)

    Models with a later database version will not be supported on a site with an earlier database version.  This scenario may occur when a model was created or opened on a Comparion site with a later database version, and you try to access the model on...
  4. Direct Entry Evaluation

    The Direct Input method can be used when evaluating threats/objectives with respect to another threat/objective or when evaluating events with respect to a threat/objective. In the example below, we are asked to evaluate all the sources given Human...
  5. Step Function Evaluation

    Depending on the settings made by the Project Manager, the Step Function graph and the resulting likelihood or impact may vary depending on whether the Piecewise Linear option is enabled or not. The graph below shows the Step Function when the Piec...
  6. Utility Curve Evaluation

    Utility curves can be increasing or decreasing, linear or non-linear. The question for the evaluation is indicated at the top of the page.  The question can be read automatically using the text-to-speech functionality. The name of the event bei...
  7. Local Results

    The likelihoods/impacts for elements in each cluster of the threats/objectives hierarchy, and as the likelihoods/impacts derived for the events with respect to each covering threat/objective, are referred to as ‘ local ' likelihoods/impacts. The ...
  8. Edit Evaluation Question

    The Project Manager can edit the evaluation phrase to make it more suitable to the model or clearer to the evaluators. This is done by clicking the  button.  The wording phrase will be in edit mode as shown below: Click   to view  the avai...
  9. Direct Entry Evaluation

    The Direct Input method can be used when evaluating threats/objectives with respect to another threat/objective or when evaluating events with respect to a threat/objective. In the example below, we are asked to evaluate all the sources given Human...
  10. Single Pairwise Verbal Comparisons

    Pairwise Verbal can be used to express your judgment about the likelihoods or impacts of the two elements.  For Likelihood evaluation, we recommend using Pairwise with Given Likelihood instead of Pairwise unless the elements being evaluated are...
