How to Use the Decision Matrix

1. Define Your Criteria; Start by listing the factors that influence your decision, such as price, reliability, ease of use, impact, or long-term value. Each criterion represents something that matters to you.

2. Assign Weights to Each Criterion: Use the weight sliders to define how important each factor is. Higher weights mean the criterion has a stronger influence on the final decision.

3. Add Your Options: Create the alternatives you want to compare. These can be products, projects, strategies, or life choices.

4. Score Each Option: Rate how well each option performs for every criterion. Scores are typically set on a scale from 1 to 10.

5. Analyze the Results: The tool automatically calculates weighted scores, ranks the options, and visualizes the results using charts and comparisons.

6. Use Coach View or Self View

   • Coach View: Includes explanations, insights, and decision tips

   • Self View: Focuses purely on logic and results without interpretation

7. Export or Share Results: Copy the results or export them as a PDF for documentation, coaching sessions, or stakeholder discussions.
