Aligning Pearson’s range to AHP

Pearson’s range organized from GII’s audit	AHP scale compared to Pearson’s correlation	Saaty’s comparison scale	Saaty’s scale of importance
[0, 0.39]	1	Equal importance	1
[0.40, 0.49]	2	Weak dominance	3
[0.50, 0.59]	3	Strong dominance	5
[0.60, 0.69]	4	Demonstrated dominance	7
[0.70, 0.79]	5	Absolute dominance	9
[0.80, 0.89]	6	(Intermediate values)	(2, 4, 6, 8)
[0.90, 0.99]	7
