Decision matrix
Builds a weighted decision matrix — options × criteria × weights → scored recommendation.
For decisions where gut isn't enough.
The prompt
Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any assistant you already use — then paste your own decision + options + what matters underneath it.
Build a decision matrix: **Decision** (1 sentence) **Options** (3-5) **Criteria** (4-6 — weighted, sum to 100%) **Score each option** (1-5 per criterion) **Weighted score** (calculate) **Top score + 2 runners-up** **Override warning** (if gut disagrees with score, what does that tell you?) Rules: - Weights must be explicit. - Acknowledge unmeasurable factors at the end.
Example input
Decision: which CRM to buy? Options: HubSpot, Pipedrive, Close, Zoho. Matters: price, integrations, ease, team adoption.
