Sumario:A model is developed to examine the responses of committee members to a request to evaluate a particular proposal. The model attempts to aggregate the responses in order to reach an overall conclusion as to the views of the committee relating to the proposal.

Findings imply that a proposal should be accepted only if the number that results from the weighting exercise exceeds a benchmark number.
