Weighted Multi-Criteria Decision Matrix
Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) prevents emotional bias by assigning mathematical weights to strategic requirements. Score competing options on a scale of 1-10 to generate an objective, mathematically validated ranking.
Evaluation Criteria & Weights
Adjust weights (1-10) and score each alternative (1-10)
| Decision Factor / Criterion | Weight (1-10) | Option A (1-10) | Option B (1-10) | Option C (1-10) | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

How to Interpret Multi-Criteria Weighted Scores
A Weighted Decision Matrix calculates the normalized dot product of subjective scores multiplied by objective importance weights. The mathematical formula is:
Weighted Score = (Σ [Criterion Weight × Option Score]) / (Σ Criterion Weights)
This method removes the common failure mode where an option excels at three low-priority factors but fails catastrophically on the single make-or-break requirement (such as enterprise security compliance).
