What decision do you need to make?
Start by naming the decision. Then work through it one factor at a time.
What are the options?
List the alternatives you want to compare.
Consider widening the comparison. Three or more meaningful options often reveal a better path than an early either-or choice.
You have a broad set of options. That can be useful, but comparing many alternatives takes more effort. Keep only the options that are genuinely viable.
What matters most?
Choose the criteria that should determine the decision.
Five to seven focused criteria are often enough.
You have a large number of criteria. Consider combining overlaps or keeping the factors that genuinely differentiate the options.
Weigh what matters
Rate the importance of each criterion from 1 to 5.
The resulting percentage shows how much influence it has on the results.
All criteria currently have the same importance. That is appropriate if they truly matter equally; otherwise, adjust the ratings to reflect your priorities.
Evaluate each option
Score every option against each criterion:
0 means unacceptable and 5 means excellent.
