Criteria

Total weight: 12

Weights reflect criterion importance. Scores per option are on a 1–10 scale: 1 = weak fit, 10 = strongest fit. Use 1+ weights to keep a criterion active.

Guidance

Start from a template to reduce setup time.
Distribute weights across criteria thoughtfully so one item does not dominate.
Use 1–10 scoring consistently across options for reliable comparison.
If top options tie, review gaps or add a tie-breaker criterion.
