Decision Matrix
Evaluate complex choices using weighted pros/cons and a systematic scoring approach to remove emotion and bias from your decision-making.
Use Case
Ideal for leaders and individuals facing “analysis paralysis” when choosing between multiple high-stakes options (e.g., choosing a vendor, hiring a candidate, or picking a tech stack).
The Prompt
I want you to act as a Strategic Advisor. Help me make a decision between the following options:
The Decision: [e.g., Choosing a new CRM]
Option A: [Name/Details]
Option B: [Name/Details]
Option C: [Name/Details]
My Priorities: [e.g., Cost, Ease of use, Integration with Slack]
Requirements:
1. Create a "Weighted Scorecard" (e.g., Give 'Cost' a weight of 40%, 'Ease of use' 30%, etc.).
2. Score each option from 1-10 on each priority.
3. Provide a summary table with total scores.
4. List the "Compelling Case" for each option (why you would pick it despite the score).
5. Give a final recommendation based on the data.Tips for Success
- Weighting matters: Be honest about what you value most. A “cheap” option might win on cost but fail on everything else.
- Hidden Costs: Ask the AI to identify potential “hidden risks” for each option.
