| Abstract (English): | This study presents two objective evaluation tools for assessing the feasibility of granitic rocks in dimension stone applications. The developed methods integrate fundamental physical and mechanical properties, including dry density (ηd), effective porosity (ne), P-wave velocity (Vp), uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), and Böhme abrasion value (BAV). Feasibility analyses based on the conditional formatting (CF) and ranking method RM reveal that the adopted input parameters are essential for determining the suitability of granitic rocks as dimension stones. The strong relationship between the CF and RM results highlights their consistency and broad applicability. Both methods exhibit good agreement with the recommendations of the American standard for granitic rocks. Consequently, the suggested methods provide practical guidance for selecting suitable rock exposures in field studies, also offering a time- and energy-efficient decision-making framework for the dimension stone industry. To comprehensively evaluate the strengths and limitations of the proposed approaches, it is recommended that these tools be applied to a wider range of dimension stone types and geological settings.

| Abstract (Croatian): | Ovom studijom predstavljena su dva objektivna alata za ocjenjivanje upotrebljivosti granitnih stijena u industriji arhitektonsko-građevnoga kamena. Razvijene metode integriraju temeljna fizička i mehanička svojstva, uključujući suhu gustoću (ηd), efektivnu poroznost (ne), brzinu P-valova (Vp), jednoosnu tlačnu čvrstoću (UCS) i Böhmeov indeks abrazije (BAV). Analize pogodnosti temeljene na uvjetnome formatiranju (CF) i metodi rangiranja (RM) pokazale su da su odabrani ulazni parametri ključni za određivanje primjene granitnih stijena kao arhitektonsko-građevnoga kamena. Snažna povezanost između rezultata CF i RM potvrđuje njihovu konzistentnost i široku primjenu. Obje metode pokazale su dobro slaganje s preporukama američkoga standarda za granitne stijene. Slijedom toga, predložene metode pružaju praktične smjernice za odabir prikladnih stijenskih izdanaka u terenskim istraživanjima nudeći pritom vremenski i energetski učinkovit okvir za donošenje odluka u industriji arhitektonsko-građevnoga kamena. Za cjelovitiju procjenu prednosti i ograničenja predloženih pristupa preporučuje se primjena ovih alata na širi spektar tipova arhitektonsko-građevnoga kamena i različite geološke uvjete.
