Is. Based on the value values ​​calculated in the initial cross-effects matrix from the elites, 963 cases with the largest statistical volume had a high impact value. Also, 852 cases with medium impact, 114 cases with low impact and 325 cases with no impact were calculated, this is if the value of P (potential direct impact) was equal to 14.
