Post subject:  Sum of influencesnot exceeding 100

Hello,
I am wondering why the absolute sum of all influences on a factor should not exceed 100? Apparently it is allowed, so what is the downside of having more than 100?
Thanks!
Grégoire

As the explanation of the weighting matrix should say there are three different ways of weighting. Only when you use the analog weighting with the use of percentage values you mustn't exceed the sum of 100 percent. If you use just the rough weighting of weak, middle and strong or even weaker than weak and stronger than strong you can of course have more than 100 influence points. In any way it is important that the factor's relative impact compared with other factor's impact at the same point is correct. Then, automatically the overall impact is comparable, too. However, you shouldn't mix analog weightings with relative weightings in one model.
