Stop second-guessing. Make confident decisions by comparing your options objectively with weighted criteria scoring.
A decision matrix (also called a weighted scoring model or Pugh matrix) is a simple but powerful tool that helps you evaluate multiple options against the criteria that matter most to you.
Instead of relying on gut feelings or getting overwhelmed by too many factors, a decision matrix breaks down your choice into clear, comparable data points. You assign weights to criteria based on importance, score each option, and let the math reveal the best choice.
Decision matrices are used by individuals making personal choices, product managers prioritizing features, businesses selecting vendors, and anyone facing a complex decision with multiple trade-offs.
Build a complete decision matrix in under 5 minutes. No spreadsheet skills required.
List what matters to you (price, quality, location, etc.) and assign weights based on importance. Weights should total 100%.
Enter the choices you're comparing—homes, jobs, cars, schools, or anything else you need to decide between.
Rate each option on each criterion from 0-10. Be honest—the tool only works if you're objective.
View ranked results with weighted scores, visual charts, and heat maps showing strengths and weaknesses.
Everything you need to make better decisions, nothing you don't.
Pre-built criteria for home buying, job offers, car purchases, colleges, vacations, and more. Just add your options and score.
Assign different weights to criteria based on what matters most. A 30% weight on salary vs. 5% on commute changes everything.
Set minimum thresholds. If an option scores below 5 on safety, it's automatically disqualified—no matter how good the price.
Stacked bar charts and radar charts make it easy to see how options compare at a glance.
Color-coded cells instantly show where each option excels (green) or falls short (red).
Generate a link to share your matrix with others. Great for group decisions or getting second opinions.
