About This Tool
Make better decisions with a structured weighted scoring matrix. List your options, define what matters (criteria) and how much it matters (weight), then score each option against each criterion. The tool calculates weighted totals and ranks your options visually.
**How It Works**
Each criterion has a weight from 1 to 10 reflecting its importance. The weighted score for each option is: Sum(Score x Weight) / Sum(Weights). The option with the highest weighted score is the best match for your priorities.
**When to Use**
Use the Weighted Decision Matrix when you have multiple viable options and need to compare them objectively. Common scenarios include choosing between job offers, selecting software tools, picking a vendor, or deciding where to live.
**Complementary to Eisenhower Matrix**
The Eisenhower Matrix sorts tasks by urgency and importance. The Weighted Decision Matrix handles a different problem — choosing between multiple options when multiple factors matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the weighted score calculated?
- For each option, multiply each criterion score by its weight, sum all products, then divide by the total weight.
- How many options and criteria can I add?
- Up to 8 options and 8 criteria each.
- What weight should I assign?
- Use 1 for least important and 10 for most important. The relative difference between weights matters more than absolute numbers.
- Can I save multiple decisions?
- Yes. Save multiple matrices and switch between them.
