Score each option against weighted criteria you set before judging the options, and get an AI read on the trade-off rather than a verdict.
Quick answer
Score each option against weighted criteria you set before judging the options, and get an AI read on the trade-off rather than a verdict.
Stuck decisions are rarely about the options; they are about unspoken weights. This sheet has the client list the real options, name criteria, then - critically - assign weights before scoring, so a last-minute criterion cannot rescue a favourite. The report shows the ranking, how sensitive it is to small weight changes and which criterion is quietly deciding everything.
