A matrix showing the directional influence between descriptor variants for seven objectives. The matrix has seven rows and twenty-one columns, each representing different variants of objectives and their influence on each other. The rows are labeled with objectives such as improving energy performance, reducing environmental impact, increasing the number of dwellings, improving green spaces, enhancing services and outdoor spaces, improving the quality of use inside apartments, and improving indoor comfort. The columns are labeled with specific variants of these objectives, such as energy labels, impact levels, floor additions, green space additions, service improvements, quality improvements, and refurbishment levels. Each cell in the matrix contains a value ranging from -3 to 3, indicating the degree of influence from the row variant to the column variant. Values of -3 indicate strong inhibition, while values of 3 indicate strong promotion.Reduced CIB matrix showing the directional influence between descriptor variants for the first 7 descriptors (see Appendix B for the full matrix). Each cell represents the degree to which the row variant influences the column variant, using a scale from − 3 (strongly inhibiting) to + 3 (strongly promoting). This matrix forms the basis for identifying internally consistent scenario configurations through analysis of systemic interdependencies
