Rather than changing the maximum score for each factor, some people prefer to give each
factor the same maximum score, but multiply the actual score by a weight to show its impor-
tance. In the example above we might give each factor a score out of ten, and then multiply
the scores for climate by 1.0, the scores for infrastructure by 2.0, the scores for accessibility by
1.0, the scores for construction cost by 0.5 and so on.
