About the Decision Matrix

Decision Matrix makes a multi-factor choice explicit. Give each criterion an importance weight, score every option and compare weighted totals.

The result organizes judgment rather than replacing it; revisit suspicious scores and test how sensitive the winner is to changed weights.

Key features

  • Editable options and criteria
  • Custom importance weights
  • One-to-ten option scores
  • Automatic weighted ranking

How to use

  1. 1Name the options and criteria.
  2. 2Set each criterion's importance weight and score each option.
  3. 3Review the winner and test uncertain assumptions.

Examples

Choose a laptop
Input: Cost weight 5 and quality weight 5; compare two models
Output: Weighted total for each model

Include battery life or support if they materially affect the choice.

Frequently asked questions

How is the total calculated?
Each score is multiplied by its criterion weight, then all weighted scores are added.
Does the highest score guarantee the right decision?
No. The output reflects only your criteria, weights and scores.
Should all weights add to 100?
No. Relative weights are enough because every option uses the same scale.
