Abstract: Abstract This paper focuses on the flexibility feature of the Flexible and Interactive Tradeoff (FITradeoff) multicriteria method for preference modeling. This method is based on the additive aggregation of criteria and using partial (incomplete; imprecise) information to be obtained from a Decision Maker (DM). The flexibility in FITradeoff for preference modeling has already considered two different perspectives: holistic evaluations and elicitation by decomposition based on the classical tradeoff procedure. This paper introduces a new feature in the flexibility of FITradeoff by combining and integrating these two paradigms: Holistic evaluations and elicitation by decomposition. This combination improves the preference modeling process, since it increases its efficiency and consistency. The use of results from behavioral studies is briefly presented. These results include those that arise from using neuroscience tools in order to modulate changes in the design of the Decision Support System and also from improving the decision process by supporting the way the analyst can interact with the DM.
