Fuzzy-AHP and Fuzzy-ANP require many tedious pairwise comparisons.
“However, Fuzzy-AHP and Fuzzy-ANP have similar drawbacks, requiring many tedious pairwise comparisons [40,41].”
From Cost Overrun Risk Assessment and Prediction in Construction Projects: A Bayesian Network Classifier Approach (2022) · cites this paper as [40]
Section 3.1 (ANP; page unavailable) describes repeated pairwise comparisons, and Section 5.2 (Discussion; page unavailable) calls manipulations in conventional fuzzy ANP comparisons “boring.” The copy does not establish that fuzzy AHP shares this drawback, so it supports the fuzzy-ANP part but not the claim about both methods.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
