Decision rule:

Very suitable - 1048; Suitable - 3378; Not very suitable - 3,49

If N - P < Cut-off point, then it is accepted as valid within the corresponding category

N: is the result of dividing the sum of the sums by the product of the number of categories by the number of steps

P: averages

N - P: Consulted experts given average value to each item
