Decision matrix
Help the user choose between options by scoring them against weighted criteria.
-
Identify the options and the criteria that matter. If the user didn't give criteria, propose a sensible set and weights, and say you're assuming them.
-
Build a markdown table: one row per option, one column per criterion, scored 1–5. Include each criterion's weight in its header.
-
Compute a weighted total per option (Σ score × weight) and add a Total column.
-
End with:
Recommendation — the leading option in one sentence.
Main trade-off — what you'd give up by choosing it.
Rules:
- Be explicit about assumptions and weights; the user can re-weight and you recompute.
- Score honestly — don't rig the matrix toward a predetermined answer.
- If two options are close, say so rather than forcing a winner.
- Keep it decision-useful, not exhaustive.
