An apparatus includes an analytic network process (ANP) storage memory that stores an ANP weighted supermatrix representing an ANP model; and a processor in communication with the ANP storage memory. The processor is configured to facilitate measuring how alternatives synthesize with respect to a fixed node in the stored ANP weighted supermatrix to determine a perspective metric vector for the fixed node. Also, the processor maintains a same proportionality in the stored ANP weighted supermatrix for the measuring of the perspective metric vector for the fixed node.
