Weighted decision matrix
Compare options using normalized weights, explicit ratings and a transparent weighted ranking.
Compare options using normalized criterion weights and ratings from 0 to 10. Higher ratings must always mean a better fit.
Up to 12 options and 15 criteria. Weights 0–100 are normalized by their sum. No automatic sensitivity analysis; change weights and recalculate to test stability. Scores support a decision, not prove the best choice.

How privacy worksHow it works
Open weighted decision matrix, enter your own project details or load the labeled example, then enter factors and compare options. Review the results and download your project to continue later.
Supported formats
Editable JSON project up to 1 MB; CSV comparison, plus SVG chart for strategy canvas. Up to 12 options and 15 factors, 0–10 ratings.
Good to know
Weights are relative, not required to sum to 100. Ratings must be 0–10.
Worked example
Before
Affordability weight 60, convenience 40; Home ratings 9 and 5, Studio 4 and 9
After
Home 7.4; Studio 6.0
Weighted scores divide each weight by the total. Higher ratings always mean a better fit.
Weighted decision matrix: interpret the result
Compare options using normalized weights, explicit ratings and a transparent weighted ranking. Weights are relative, not required to sum to 100. Ratings must be 0–10. All project files are readable and unencrypted. Save and open them explicitly; there is no automatic browser persistence.
First principles thinkingTroubleshooting
Why did my decision matrix ranking change?
A change in weights or ratings can reverse the ranking. Test plausible alternatives and review the evidence behind each score.
Common questions
Can I use weighted decision matrix offline?
Prepare this tool using Offline help while online. After preparation, it runs locally with fresh input. Browser cache eviction remains possible; keep project downloads separately.
Can I use this without an internet connection?
Yes, after you prepare this tool from Offline help and the browser retains its assets. Installation is optional. All processing dependencies are bundled locally.
