In the weighted point product evaluation method, if more than one support person evaluates competing products, the score a product receives is usually ____.

Answer 1

In the weighted point product evaluation method, if more than one support person evaluates competing products, the score a product receives is usually the average score of all evaluators.

The weighted point product evaluation method, or Kepner-Tregoe method, compares technology products according to criteria of predefined importance, such as their cost or how easy they are for the consumer to use. The result is a numerical score for each competing product; the "winner" being the product with the highest score.

The people conducting the evaluations can of course disagree. In this case, a product's final score is the average of the different evaluators' scores for this product.
