Patent ID: 7509231

Claim:
A tangible computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program for measuring and displaying measures, wherein execution of said computer program by one or more processors causes said one or more processors to perform the steps of: a. identifying at least two factors, each of said at least two factors represented as a node; b. structuring at least two of said at least two factors into a hierarchy, said hierarchy consisting of at least one cluster of nodes; c. identifying at least one activity; d. identifying at least one decision maker; e. collecting at least one judgment on at least one of said at least two factors from at least one of said at least one decision maker; f. producing at least one set of ratio-scaled measures of said at least two factors from said at least one judgment; g. producing at least one performance measure of at least one of said at least one activity with respect to at least two of said at least two factors, at least one of said at least one performance measure determined using a translation function; h. generating rolled up performance measures by rolling up at least one of said at least one performance measure from the lower levels of said hierarchy to the higher levels of said hierarchy; and i. communicating said at least one performance measure and said rolled up performance measures.
