What is a Model?
A model is a representation of a decision. Comparion is a structured decision-making tool designed to help organize and analyze various factors based on specific goals and objectives. By providing a clear framework, Comparion models enable more effective and efficient decision-making.
Models are tailored to fit the unique needs of your project. Model includes clearly defined objectives, goals, and alternatives. Participants have already been added, evaluations have been completed, and results have been synthesized for training purposes.
