Decision Matrix
Stuck between options? List what matters, weigh each factor, and score every option. The weighted totals show which option comes out ahead.

Your matrix stays in this browser only.
How to use it
- Name your options, up to six.
- List the criteria that matter and give each a weight from 1 to 5.
- Score every option from 1 to 10 on each criterion.
Good to know
The tool multiplies each score by its weight and adds them up.
If the winner feels wrong, that tells you something: a criterion is probably missing or weighted wrongly.
