# Normalization

Normalize the scoring matrix to make scores with different units and scales comparable across criteria.

## Execution

Subagent receives the raw scoring matrix and normalization method, outputs the normalized matrix.

## Why Subagent

Normalization involves mathematical transformations and direction handling; independent verification of transformation correctness is needed to avoid direction errors causing rank reversals.

## HARD-GATE

All normalized values must be in the [0, 1] range, with max-direction criteria having optimal value of 1, and min-direction criteria having optimal value of 1 (after inversion).
