| Option 1 | |
| Option 2 |
- 1Add at least two options and name them.
- 2Add your criteria and set each one's weight from 0 to 10, where 10 means it matters most.
- 3Score every option against every criterion from 0 (poor) to 10 (excellent).
- 4Press Rank the options and read the totals, percentages and breakdown.
- 5Still torn? Press Pick one for me for a random choice weighted by the scores.
Options: Alpha and Beta. Criteria: Cost with weight 2, Quality with weight 3. Scores: Alpha gets 8 for cost and 6 for quality (8 x 2 + 6 x 3 = 34 of 50, 68%); Beta gets 5 for cost and 9 for quality (5 x 2 + 9 x 3 = 37 of 50, 74%). Beta ranks first because quality carries the bigger weight, and the breakdown shows exactly that.
- The maths is sum of score times weight; scores above 10 or below 0 are clamped to the 0 to 10 scale so one cell cannot dominate by accident.
- The ranking is only as honest as your scores and weights. The tool makes your own judgement visible; it does not add information you did not give it.
- The random pick uses your browser's cryptographic random generator. With ranked results it favours higher scores in proportion to their totals; without them, every option has an equal chance.
A criterion's weight multiplies every score under it. Weight 3 counts three times as much as weight 1, and weight 0 removes that criterion from the ranking entirely.
About this tool
The Decision Maker compares options the transparent way: you name the options, list what matters as criteria, give each criterion a weight, and score every option from 0 to 10. It multiplies scores by weights, totals them, and ranks the options with a chart and a per-criterion breakdown, so the winner wins for reasons you can inspect and argue with. If two options end up too close to call, a random pick weighted by the scores breaks the tie.
