Decision Matrix (weighted scoring)

Choose between options rationally: list your options and the criteria that matter (with weights), score each 0–10, and get a weighted ranking you can download and share.

When to use it

Any multi-criteria choice — a vendor, a hire, a roadmap, a job offer, a house. The matrix separates what matters (criteria and weights) from how each option scores, so the decision stops being a vibe and becomes a defensible number. Pair it with a pre-mortem for high-stakes calls.
