A set of criteria to compare the performance of methods is designed. Based on two case studies the perfromance of EMA on these criteria is assessed. Based on a workshop with experts the advantages of EMA over other methods for analyzing uncertainty are defined. EMA is a method which enables a extensive and deliberate consideration of uncetrainty. The method has most potential in situations with a lot of uncertainty and large possible consequences of making a wrong decision.
