Alternatively, participatory methods that incorporate various stakeholders experts, citizens and politicians can be used to assign weights.
In the budget allocation approach, experts are given a budget of N points, to be distributed over a number of individual indicators,
this method can induce serious cognitive stress in the experts who are asked to allocate the budget.
This is similar to the budget allocation method (see below) where experts are asked to assign weights
