In calculating the environmental complexity factor, does a higher assigned value for a factor increase the environmental complexity?

Assigning a higher value to an environmental complexity factor means that the environment is perceived as more complex. In project management or systems engineering, environmental complexity takes into account elements like factors that influence performance, risk, or the dynamics of external interactions. When a higher value is assigned to such a factor, it typically indicates an increase in uncertainty, variability, or an array of influencing elements that complicate the operating environment. Therefore, a higher assigned value clearly reflects greater environmental complexity and can lead to an assessment of additional considerations in project planning and execution.
