Abstract
Aiming the reduction of incomparability cases between alternatives, for the presentation of a complete and satisfactory result, it is presented a new approach for aiding the decision making process on Verbal Decision Analysis, structured basically on ZAPROS III method. A tool applying the methodology was developed. Some optimizations were done to the method through some differentials on the process, considering similar tools which support solving ill-structured problems. Computational experiments applied to the tool presented promising results.
