Two indices for needs assessment. Upload a file and calculate here, or download the toolkit and run it in a spreadsheet. Both tools are signed to the IJERE paper.

(I − D) / D

I is importance or the desired mean. D is the current degree. The index is the gap relative to where the item stands now. Above 0.30 is high priority.

PNI × (Impact / 5) × (Feasibility / 5)

Optional 1–5 ratings. The strongest composite score in the file is scaled to 1, so a wide gap with little impact or feasibility moves down the list.

How to present the result

  1. Put the formula in the figure note, then the signature sticker: tool name, authors, year, and IJERE 15(3).
  2. Rank from the largest PNI modified and mark 0.30. Above that line is high priority.
  3. Show I and D next to the index. A large PNI modified can come from a modest gap when D is small.
  4. If CPI changes the order, show both lists. A wide gap with low impact or feasibility should move down.
  5. Use one row per item, with means already averaged. Do not collapse repeated names.
