Decision Analysis Matrix Examples

Decision matrices make trade-off analysis explicit — each row is an option, each column is a criterion, each cell is a score. The totals remove gut-feel from the decision record.

How to

How to use a matrix template.

  1. 01List the options

    Name the alternatives you are comparing — the rows of the matrix.

  2. 02Define the criteria

    List the evaluation dimensions and assign weights if some criteria matter more than others.

  3. 03Score each option

    Rate each option on each criterion; the AI builds the weighted matrix and totals automatically.

  4. 04Export for the decision record

    Share the matrix link or export it — a decision matrix is an artifact you keep, not just a slide.

FAQ

Questions about matrix templates

What is a decision matrix?

A grid that scores multiple options against multiple criteria. Each cell holds a score; weighted totals rank the options. It makes the basis of a decision explicit and revisable.

Should I use weighted scores?

Yes, if the criteria are not equally important. Assign weights (e.g., 1–5) to each criterion and the AI multiplies the scores automatically.

Can I use a matrix for feature prioritization?

Yes — list the features as rows and criteria like impact, effort, and strategic fit as columns. Score each feature and sort by weighted total.
