AHP-General Idea
Develop an hierarchy of decision criteria and define the
alternative courses of actions.
AHP algorithm is basically composed of two steps:

2. Determine the relative rankings (priorities) of alternatives
! Both qualitative and quantitative information can be
compared by using informed judgments to derive
weights and priorities.
