  • It can typically support Trade-off Analysis between competing value dimensions.
  • It can typically translate Qualitative Attributes into quantitative representations for systematic evaluation.
  • It can typically assess Resource Value based on utility provision, scarcity, and substitutability.
  • ...
  • It can often combine Objective Measurement and subjective assessment into comprehensive value frameworks.
  • It can often reflect Cultural Context through different value prioritys across societal systems.
