The study provides a fusion data analysis to investigate the attitudes and perceptions of legal professionals in Ecuador regarding the effectiveness and fairness of the monitoring procedure, using a questionnaire based on indeterminate Likert scales. By employing Triple Refined Indeterminate Neutrosophic Sets and the Minimum Spanning Tree, responses were analyzed to reveal trends and groupings in opinions. The identification of response clusters suggested marked differences and homogeneous subgroups in perspectives, highlighting specific areas within legislation and judicial procedures that require attention. The threshold used for the Minimum Spanning Tree provided a quantitative view of cohesion and discrepancy, which has significant implications for legislative reform and judicial practice. This innovative approach offers a valuable model for future research, with the potential to influence policy-making and the promotion of legislative reforms based on empirical data.
