All of the following are similarities between Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and scoring models except
A) the decision maker provides the weightages or preferences for the criteria
B) the decision maker assigns scores (comparative or absolute) for each alternative-criteria combination
C) AHP and scoring models have subjective elements (or steps)
D) both involve several steps and complex calculations to get the final answer

AHP involves a structured framework for organizing and analyzing complex decisions, based on mathematics and psychology. It uses pairwise comparisons and relies on the judgment of experts to derive priority scales. This process can involve complex calculations, especially as the number of criteria and alternatives increases. Scoring models, on the other hand, are generally simpler. They involve assigning scores to each option based on a set of criteria and then applying weights to these criteria. The complexity of calculations in scoring models is typically less than in AHP, as scoring models do not require pairwise comparison or the derivation of priority scales through eigenvalue calculations.
