Interval-valued linguistic neutrosophic sets (IVLNSs), Z-numbers, and the trapezium cloud model are powerful tools for expressing uncertainty and randomness. This paper aims to combine these methodologies. First, we review relevant concepts and operators, introducing a novel combination of IVLNSs and Z-numbers, which establishes a new form of expression. Subsequently, we propose the Z-interval-valued linguistic neutrosophic set-trapezium–trapezium cloud (Z-IVLNS-TTC) model, designed to minimize information loss and distortion during quantification. A novel method for calculating the objective weight vector is then developed using multi-objective programming (MOP). Drawing inspiration from the TOPSIS method, we propose a new approach for calculating the distance between Z-IVLNS-TTCs based on the p-norm. Finally, a group decision-making problem is presented to demonstrate the practical application of the proposed method. To validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the method, sensitivity analysis and comparisons with existing approaches are conducted.
