Consensus View

The consensus view shows the standard deviations (the square root of the variances) among evaluators for each judgment. The table is sorted from highest disagreement to lowest disagreement among evaluators for each node.

The entries are displayed for steps in the evaluation process, sorted from high to low standard deviation (square root of variance).  

The standard deviation percentage has a bar with color-coding to give a visual indication of the consensus but is not to be interpreted as being acceptable or not.  The red bar indicates high percentage, yellow for medium, and green for low.  

The main purpose of the consensus view is to make it easy to revisit those steps in the evaluation process where that have high levels of disagreement. This analysis can help you detect bias, or can help you sort out information asymmetry among your participants. 

Clicking on the step number in the row will open TeamTime in another browser window specific to the step for the chosen alternative/objective step.  The variances are displayed in the TeamTime meeting instead of the Standard Deviation. 

You can select those portions of the hierarchy to view standard deviation.  

In the above example, only variances for those judgments with respect to Vendor/Partner Access will display.
