REGIME

INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
REGIME is a multi-criteria evaluation method built on pairwise comparison rather than numerical scores. Each pair of options is examined criterion by criterion to decide whether one dominates the other, meaning it is at least as good on most criteria and strictly better on at least one. The resulting dominance relations produce a partial ordering, and the undominated options form the shortlist. Because it works with ordinal or qualitative judgements such as good, fair, or poor, it suits decisions where assigning precise weights would be artificial.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Use qualitative ranking: compare options using only good, fair, and poor judgements alone. - Use dominance check: drop any option that another beats across the board. - Use shortlist extraction: keep the undominated option set for the final discussion round.
Anchor fast decisions
When only qualitative or ordinal information exists, REGIME determines dominance through pairwise comparison: option A dominates B if it is no worse on most criteria and better on at least one. Aggregating these relations yields a partial order of options, which supports systematic evaluation even without precise data or agreed weights.
