There is much more to Pugh methods—good and bad—than is contained in this very brief page.

For instance, I have found that the Pugh method's greatest strength does not lie in its ability to rank alternatives, but in its ability to highlight strong and weak aspects of various designs. The design team can then use the Pugh analysis to try to combine the strong features of each.

On the minus side, Pugh analysis does little to reduce the subjective nature of the comparison; it only puts the subjectivity down on paper. Worse, people often average scores or multiply weights against the scores, operations that are not mathematically valid given the kind of ranking that is performed and that can lead to incorrect results.

Would anyone object to seeing the page updated to contain this sort of information? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thopper (talk • contribs) 07:51, 20 March 2007.
