An RSI Managing Risk method
Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA)
Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better manage risk.
Broadly
Multi-criteria decision analysis is a structured method for evaluating options based on multiple, often conflicting, criteria. It supports transparent, balanced decisions where trade-offs are unavoidable—common in environmental, public health, and infrastructure planning. MCDA improves clarity and stakeholder confidence but can be sensitive to weightings and subjective inputs.
More specifically
RSI applies MCDA in high-stakes risk decisions, helping clients define criteria, score options, and test robustness. Its facilitators engage stakeholders in structured deliberation to ensure diverse values are reflected. RSI documents assumptions and uncertainty transparently, providing a defensible foundation for risk-based choices.
