Enable Strategy Lab
Decision Matrix
Turn a gut call into a scored, defensible decision - weighted criteria, ranked options.
Name the decision, list your real options, list the criteria that actually matter and weight them, then score each option against each one. The weighted totals rank your options for you - and it tells you honestly how close the top two are, so you know whether you've got a clear winner or a coin flip dressed up as analysis. Built for the calls that are hard to walk back: which vendor, which hire, which initiative to run first.
Included in All Access, or unlock it on its own.

The Decision Matrix
"I think it should be this one" is a decision nobody else can evaluate or challenge, including you a month later. Weighted criteria, scored honestly, turn it into a decision you can actually defend and explain. Skip the structure and every big call stays a gut call - hard to justify, and hard to learn from when it goes wrong.
- 1.The Gut Call ProblemGut instinct isn't wrong to have - it's wrong to rely on alone for a decision you can't easily walk back.
- 2.Criteria and WeightsThe two things that actually decide the outcome - and the honesty check that stops you gaming your own matrix.
- 3.Reading the GapA ranked list isn't the whole answer - the SIZE of the gap between #1 and #2 tells you how much to trust it.
- 4.Name Your DecisionPick a real decision you're currently facing, and list the genuine options - not a strawman list.
- 5.Quick CheckA few questions to lock in what you just covered.
- 6.Score Your DecisionTurn your decision into a real weighted matrix - the AI suggests criteria, you score honestly, the numbers do the rest.
