CR (Respondent 1) = 9.5%, CR (Respondent 2) = 7.9%, 1 = Equally important, 3 = Somewhat more important, 5 = Much more important, 7 = Very much more important, 9 = Absolutely important. The grey color indicates the selection of the respondents (Resp.1 and Resp.2). The white color indicates the inverse value of the selection of the respondent. The pale blue color indicates a value of 1 (equally important) when comparing an alternative to itself.
