Is there a good introduction to decision methods on general like the ones you describe? I'm very interested in this.


Yes. I like this paper (https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/S02196220185...) because it explains in general terms what AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) is and related tools. In Google Scholar there are pointers to other researchers, for AHP the most cited one is Thomas Saaty - https://scholar.google.com.br/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=s...

Remember once again, AHP/ANP are not the most 'useful' ones, having advantages and drawbacks, but they are a good starting point on Multicriteria Decision Methods (MCDM).

You may want to check MAUT/MAVT, PROMETHEE, VIKOR, Best Worst Method, and TOPSIS (this one is quite simple to understand and use).
