It’s an interesting analysis. Just a thought—since the value of 1 unit is up to the responder if I’ve understood correctly, it might be more meaningful to calculate ratios of the responses for each person and average these rather than average the responses to each part—for the latter, if any responder picked small “unit” sizes and correspondingly gave large numerical values, they would make an outsized contribution. Calculating ratios first cancels out whatever “unit” people have decided on. Though it should only matter much if people’s “units” differ considerably in size.
