• Abstract: This paper introduces a novel approach to project success evaluation by integrating fuzzy logic into an existing construct. Traditional Likert-scale measures often overlook the context-dependent and multifaceted nature of project success. The proposed hierarchical Type-1 Mamdani fuzzy system prioritizes sustained positive impact for end-users, reducing emphasis on secondary outcomes like stakeholder satisfaction and internal project success. This dynamic approach may provide a more accurate measure of project success and could be adaptable to complex evaluations. Future research will focus on empirical testing and broader applications of fuzzy logic in social science.
