			Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approaches that are transparent and robust are crucial to meet the rising demand for sustainable decision-making in technology management. This paper presents a novel methodology, the Sensitivity-Alternatives-Ranking Analysis (SARA) method, that combines sensitivity testing, alternative selection, and ranking visualization to assess long-term technology expectations. The suggested approach is implemented in a case study incorporating alternative technologies, and its results are compared with the VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) method and validated through extensive sensitivity analysis. The results demonstrate consistent and stable ranks across varying criteria weights, confirming the SARA framework's robustness. In comparison to standard MCDM methods, the SARA method enhances both interpretability and reliability through integration of technology evaluations, normalized scores, and visualization-based insights. The study suggests a practical and conceptually sound technique for long-term decision-making that may assist policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in conducting complex technical evaluations.
