Re-capture opinions about scenario using criteria
 Business experts interview 
GroupSystem
This activity consists in collecting individual opinions by ranking the scenario against each of the six proposed criteria. It is similar to the corresponding one for the qualitative evaluation.  However, it is now based  on the additional knowledge  acquired through the evaluation of the scenario against metrics. 
Aggregate individual opinions per criterion
GroupSystem
The individual results are agregated and the average scoring of the scenario for each criterion is presented in a summary table.
