K Expert competence coefficient (scale of 0.25 to1)
Ka ‘coefficient of argument’ or foundation of expert opinion. It is obtained from assigning scores to a number of different sources of argument that could wield the expert
Kc ‘coefficient of knowledge’ or information that the expert on the subject or problem posed. It is calculated from the assessment made by the expert himself on a scale of 0 to 10, multiplied by 0,1
