kriteriakriteria

Kriteriakriteria is a term used in Indonesian discourse to denote the set of criteria used to evaluate a subject, and, more broadly, the reflection on how those criteria are chosen and organized. The word fuses kriteria, the standard Indonesian word for criterion, with a reduplication-like form that signals a meta-level focus on criteria themselves.

In practice, kriteriakriteria refers to the inventory of evaluation criteria, their relationships, and the rules for applying them. It emphasizes properties such as relevance to the objective, clarity and measurability, non-ambiguity, completeness, independence among criteria, and avoidance of redundancy. It also covers methods for weighting, scoring, and validating that the criteria remain aligned with goals and constraints.

The concept appears in fields like multi-criteria decision analysis, program evaluation, procurement, and policy analysis, where decision quality depends on well-constructed criteria. Tools such as criteria trees or matrices and sensitivity analyses are often used to articulate kriteriakriteria.

Some critics warn that focusing on criteria lists can overshadow context, values, or political considerations, while supporters argue that explicit kriteriakriteria enhance transparency and comparability across cases.
