Decision Matrix Calculator

A decision matrix (weighted scoring model) helps you compare options objectively by rating each option against weighted criteria.

Score = Σ (Criteria Rating × Criteria Weight)

How to use:

1. Enter ratings (1-10) for each criterion for Option A and Option B
2. Assign weights (1-10) to show how important each criterion is
3. The option with the higher weighted score wins

Common criteria examples:

• Job decision: Salary, work-life balance, growth potential, location
• Purchase decision: Price, quality, features, brand reputation
• Life decision: Happiness impact, financial impact, relationships, career

Tips:

• Use at least 3-4 criteria for meaningful comparisons
• Be honest with ratings — this only works if you are truthful
• A close score (within 10%) means both options are viable
• Weight the criteria before rating the options to avoid bias
