Steps to ideal (STI) scale and the corresponding triangular fuzzy scale.

If proxy is within 0 categories from the other proxy it is being compared to, then use the following scale:STI = 0(1, 1, 1)
If proxy is within 1 category from the other proxy it is being compared to, then use the following scale:STI = 1(2, 3, 4)
If proxy is within 2 categories from the other proxy it is being compared to, then use the following scale:STI = 2(4, 5, 6)
If proxy is within 3 categories from the other proxy it is being compared to, then use the following scale:STI = 3(6, 7, 8)
If proxy is within 4 categories from the other proxy it is being compared to, then use the following scale:STI = 4(9, 9, 9)
