15. Follow
the steps
Answer the A questions first
to identify your requirements
Analyse the materials you have selected
by answering the questions B.
17. 0 = does not match the desired features
1 = partly matches the desired features
2 = closely matches the desired features
Look for the widest spread of desired features
and concentrations in the areas
you consider most important
