Additional information
Each KPI threshold is set to value the performance of the KPI as low, medium, or high, or very high.
Each KPI is allocated points to provide a weighting against the other KPIs. The total of all KPI points is 100.
The points for all KPIs are summed to provide a total prioritization score for the given product and customer combination. A product and customer score can be between 0-100, with a higher number indicating a higher prioritization for review.
The 0-100 range is categorized into low, medium, high, and very high priority for reporting and review purposes.
