To Enter PROs,

The PROs column displays a list of prepopulated PROs for the question being posed. These items are read only and cannot be changed.

TIP: If any of the PROs are not applicable to your situation enter a 0 in either the How Important/True or How Probable columns and the entry will not be used when the calculating the Answer.

The  How Important/True column lets you enter the importance of the PRO.

Once you select a value, click the Done button to return to the PROs screen.

In your opinion, if the CON iisted will become reality, then select 100. If you think the chances are less likely, select a lower number. Enter 0 if you don't want the CON to be used in calculating the Answer. Once you select a value, click the Done button to return to the CONs screen.   

TIP: 100 represents most likely to happen and 0 not at all likely.
