Decision Matrix Maker

A transparent comparison of alternatives

A decision matrix organizes options against shared criteria. Weighting makes priorities explicit, while visible scores let reviewers challenge the assumptions behind a ranking.

Choose among a manageable shortlist

Use it when several options meet basic requirements but differ on cost, quality, convenience, or other priorities. The fixed example is a feature impact-effort quadrant, not a weighted scoring table.

Make the ranking explainable

1. Define the scale. Explain what each rating means before assigning scores.
2. Use one direction for better. Transform cost or effort ratings so higher scores consistently mean a better fit.
3. Separate requirements from preferences. An option that fails a mandatory condition may need exclusion before scoring.
4. Avoid double-counting criteria. Overlapping categories can give one concern unintended extra weight.
5. Test sensitivity. If small weight changes reverse the ranking, show that uncertainty.

Put your priorities into a visible comparison

MyMap drafts a matrix from your options, ratings, and weights. Ask to expose intermediate calculations or revise a criterion so the reasoning is inspectable.
