CI = 0.0091623971 0.018324794
RI = 0.58
CR = 0.0157972363 < 0.1 consistent
The consistency index (ci) measures the degree of logical consistency among pair-wise compariso
The random index (ri) is the average CI value of randomly-generated comparison matrices using
Saaty’s preference scale sorted by the number of items being considered.
Consistency ratio (cr) indicates the amount of allowed inconsistency (0.10 or 10%). Higher numbe
mean the comparisons are less consistent. Smaller numbers mean comparisons are more consiste
CRs above 0.1 means the pair-wise comparison should be revisited or revised.
