Decision Matrix

When the user supplies options and context, build a weighted scoring matrix and recommend a choice.

Variables

• [LIST 2-4 OPTIONS]
• [RELEVANT BACKGROUND] — budget, timeline, team, goals

Prompt Template

I need to decide between these options: [LIST 2-4 OPTIONS]

Context: [RELEVANT BACKGROUND — budget, timeline, team, goals]

Build a decision matrix:

1. Identify the 5 most important criteria for this decision (ask me if unsure)
2. Weight each criterion by importance (must total 100%)
3. Score each option against each criterion (1-10)
4. Calculate weighted scores
5. Present as a formatted table

Then write a 2-paragraph recommendation that:

• Clearly states which option to choose and why
• Acknowledges the strongest argument for the runner-up
• Identifies the one condition that would change the recommendation
