User and problem

Where the tool fits

Designed for: Leaders and teams comparing investments, vendors, initiatives, locations, technologies, or other multi-criteria choices.

Problem addressed: Decisions become difficult to defend when criteria, weights, thresholds, and tradeoffs remain implicit or change during discussion.

Core workflow

From input to decision-ready output

FrameStructureAnalyzeExport
1

Define options and evaluation criteria, including weight, direction, and any mandatory threshold

2

Score each option and recalculate the weighted result

3

Review contribution and sensitivity results, document the recommendation, and export the decision record

Review contribution and sensitivity results, document the recommendation, and export the decision record.

Method

Transparent calculation and record logic

The methodology is intentionally visible so users can challenge the assumptions and validate the result against authoritative evidence.

How the application works

  • Normalizes criterion weights and calculates an aggregate weighted score for each option.
  • Tests mandatory criteria independently so a high total score cannot conceal a threshold failure.
  • Sensitivity analysis varies criterion influence to show whether the leading option is stable or fragile.
Illustrative output
1. Option B — 82.6
2. Option A — 77.4
Mandatory gates: Option B passed all
Sensitivity: lead remains under ±10% weight variation
Boundaries

What the result does not prove

  • Scores remain judgments and should be supported by evidence.
  • The model does not remove bias; it makes assumptions and tradeoffs visible.
  • A narrow score difference should not be treated as certainty, especially when inputs are weak.
Working data remains local to this browser unless the application explicitly describes an external request or the user exports a file. Browser storage can be lost when data is cleared or the device changes.
Organizational fit

Use the method as-is or adapt it to your operating model.
