Decision support techniques proposed to improve the quality of expert judgment decision making consider a demonstrated inconsistency of the judgments expressed by an expert as a criterion of exclusion in the decision-making process of such expert. Although consistency appears to be a desirable condition to qualify as “expert”, little is known about the quality of the decisions made imposing consistency as the expert qualifying condition. This paper proposes a simulation methodology, based on an automaton programmed to make decisions in an intended but bounded rational way, to assess the cost-benefit of different aspects of decision support techniques. Within this methodology, the imposition of the consistency condition in the selection of experts is studied. In particular, the paper shows with a case study example that the Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) decision support technique expected payoff is at most 5% higher when implementing Saaty's consistency criterion of the expert's judgments than when the consistency criterion is not considered.2023http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/12446310.1016/j.inffus.2022.08.019http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/124463oai:zaguan.unizar.es:124463info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI/PID2019-103880RB-I00info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/CREVALORinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2017-86305-C4-3-RInformation Fusion 89 (2023), 254-266byhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
