level. The DM decided to improve the attribute A2.3 Resolution, which was then
assigned a swing weight of 100.
Then, the DM was asked to identify the member he would next most like to
improve, and assign it a swing weight reflecting the estimate relative importance of
improving this attribute compared with improving his first choice. The DM chose to
improve the attribute A2.5 Scope and felt that it was as important as the attribute A2.3
Resolution. The last attribute of this assessment was A2.4 Endurance, which was
assigned a swing weight of 75 percent.
Finally, the weights were calculated by determining the normalized ratings, so
that the weights sum to 1. Figure 31 illustrates the procedure, performed with the help of
LDW.
