In general, the degree of consistency is satisfactory if CI/RI =< 0.10. If CI/RI > 0, then there are probably serious in

Remember that in this instance, we have evaluated the degree of consistency only for the pairwise comparisons in
not mean that we have verified the consistency for the entire AHP. We would still have to evaluate the pairwise co

This should be very close to "n"

This should be very close to "zero".

If CI = 0, then you are a perfectly consistent decision maker.
If CI ≠ 0, then you need to know how much you are deviating, i.e.
degree of consistency that is acceptable must be determined.
