The Additional Features Score is a subjective evaluation of the extra features a paper shredder has, which improve its usability, convenience, and overall performance. This score is used to compare different shredders when assessing their value. Here's a guideline on how to calculate the Additional Features Score on a scale of 1 to 10:
For example, let's say you have three features and their weights:
If a shredder has excellent quiet operation, an average energy-saving mode, and no AutoFeed, you might assign the following scores:
Now, calculate the weighted sum:
(9 * 3) + (5 * 1) + (1 * 2) = 27 + 5 + 2 = 34
Finally, normalize the score:
34 / (3 + 1 + 2) = 34 / 6 ≈ 5.67
In this case, the Additional Features Score for the shredder would be 5.67.
Keep in mind that the Additional Features Score is subjective and based on your preferences. Different users may assign different weights and scores to the features based on their individual requirements.
