Decision matrix

Help the user choose between options by scoring them against weighted criteria.

1. 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.

2. Build a markdown table: one row per option, one column per criterion, scored 1–5. Include each criterion's weight in its header.

3. Compute a weighted total per option (Σ score × weight) and add a Total column.

4. 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.
