Application Questions Pane
The Application Questions pane displays a table with questions to answer for the mission phase currently selected in the Application Phases pane. Answering the questions in this table calculates the Pi Application factor for the phase.
The following table provides column descriptions. You enter data only in the Answer column.

Column
|
Description
|
|---|---|
|
Question
|
The unique number assigned to the question to distinguish it from all other questions.
|
|
Criteria
|
The quality to evaluate in the phase.
|
|
Description
|
The particular traits or activities that define the criteria.
|
|
Levels
|
Descriptions for compliance levels for the criteria. Your objective is to specify the appropriate compliance level for Answer.
|
|
Comments
|
Additional information and/or examples to ensure you select the appropriate compliance level for Answer.
|
|
Weight
|
The specific weight assigned to the criteria. The range is between 2 and 20. A low number indicates that the criteria has a weak effect on the Pi Application factor, and a high number indicates that the criteria has a strong effect on this factor. The weights specified for the recommendation in the FIDES standards are used.

|
Answer
|
The compliance level to assign based on proof provided by the audit. Descriptions of the three compliance levels for the currently selected question are shown for Levels. Choices for Answer are:
• 0: Low Level
• 1: Medium Level
• 2: High Level
|
|
Raw Points
|
The raw points assigned to each question in the FIDES standard. Choices are:
• 1: Low Level
• 3.2: Medium Level
• 10: High Level
|
|
Weighted Points
|
The value obtained by multiplying the Raw Points value by the Weight value. For example, if 1 is the Raw Points value and 8 is the Weight value, the Weighted Points value is 8. (1 * 8).
|
 |
If you enable a Prediction FIDES Application Factor file in which the question set for a phase is not completed, for this phase, the Pi application factor for the first phase is used. This is always the default one with 3.2 value for the Pi application factor.
