ANP models both inner dependence (elements within a cluster) and outer dependence (influence between different clusters).
Like AHP, ANP uses pairwise comparisons to derive priorities, but requires significantly more, making it more mathematically complex. BPMSG Resources for ANP Analytic Network Process (ANP) - BPMSG
For complex, high-stakes decisions, ANP can incorporate Benefits, Opportunities, Costs, and Risks (BOCR) in a two-layer model. ANP models both inner dependence (elements within a
