Decision Matrix

1. Write what you are deciding (for example: which laptop to buy).
2. Name your options at the top of each column (up to 8). Use "Add an option" for more.
3. Under "What matters", list what is important to you (price, quality, delivery time…) and give each one an importance from 1 (nice to have) to 5 (essential).
4. In each row, score every option from 0 (poor) to 5 (excellent).
5. The Result at the bottom shows the best choice: each score is multiplied by its importance and added up. If the top two are close, look again before deciding.

Example: Laptop A is cheap (price 5) but slow (speed 2); Laptop B costs more (price 3) and is fast (speed 5). If price has importance 5 and speed 3: A = 5×5 + 2×3 = 31 and B = 3×5 + 5×3 = 30. A wins, but it is a close call.
