G. Compare with the "paper-computer"

<p>The button COMPARE allows the comparison of the network of the <strong>effect system</strong> with the values noted in the <strong>consensus matrix</strong>. Strong red lines (value 3) or strong orange lines (value 2) show agreement. The arrows not corresponding with the impact matrix (or having there only the value 1) stay black.</p>

<p>On the other hand the strong effects with value 3 in the impact matrix not having been taken into account in the effect system appear as <strong>thin red</strong> (mostly slanting) connecting lines between the variables.</p>

<p>By again clicking the button COMPARE the comparison is switched off. The original tableau appears. The comparison can also be carried out under CONNECT.</p>

<p>ATTENTION: The pattern of the Effect System should be <strong>built up independent from the Impact Matrix</strong>, since both tools have different purposes (see 'The Background' in the Info window). The comparison, therefore, should <strong>only be used to point out discrepancies</strong> and not to copy the matrix. Besides of this copying a former working step might also perpetuate eventual faults from there to the next step.</p>
