Q: How is 'Percent Match' calculated?
A: The Percent Match calculation demonstrates the real power of the eBestMatch Engine. The Percent Match is our patented calculation that helps IT decision makers avoid some of the problems with simply using a weighted average (the “Ability to Meet Criteria” like Enterprise Technologies for Enterprise Technologies) calculation is a weighted average. This calculation becomes useful when the decision maker wishes to consider the consistency of scores across all of the criteria in addition to the vendors’ Ability to Meet Criteria calculation. The eBestMatch Engine runs through patented algorithms to generate a Weighted Average Composite Index (WACI), which is a number between 0 and 1. A WACI of 1 indicates that a vendor’s scores were very consistent throughout the RFI. Those vendors with a WACI below 1 have inconsistencies in their scores across the RFI. The degree to which the scores are inconsistent determines the WACI. The Percent Match is a simple calculation of: The Ability to Meet Criteria (x) WACI.
