Rank choices with weighted scoring and transparent comparisons. Compare scenarios and reveal top options clearly. Use exports, charts, and examples for confident team decisions.
Enter five criteria, five weights, and five options with ratings from 0 to 10. Higher ratings indicate better performance.
This example shows a simple decision between five project options using five weighted criteria.
| Option | Cost Efficiency | Implementation Speed | Expected Impact | Risk Level | Team Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Automation Upgrade | 8 | 7 | 9 | 6 | 8 |
| New Vendor Switch | 7 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 7 |
| Custom Internal Build | 9 | 5 | 7 | 5 | 6 |
| Process Redesign | 6 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 9 |
| Hybrid Rollout | 8 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 8 |
Example Weights: Cost Efficiency 30, Implementation Speed 20, Expected Impact 25, Risk Level 10, Team Fit 15.
The calculator uses the weighted sum model. Each criterion weight is first normalized so all weights total 100%. Every option rating is multiplied by its normalized weight. The final score equals the sum of all weighted contributions.
Normalized Weight = Criterion Weight / Total Weight
Weighted Contribution = Option Rating × Normalized Weight
Final Decision Score = Sum of all weighted contributions
It compares several alternatives against weighted decision criteria. The calculator converts ratings and priorities into ranked scores, helping you choose the strongest option using a consistent and transparent method.
Normalization ensures the final calculation stays proportional, even when your weights do not total 100. This keeps the ranking fair and prevents accidental overstatement from raw weight totals.
Use 0 to 10, where higher values mean better performance. Keep the same interpretation across all options so your comparisons remain balanced and meaningful.
Yes. It works well for vendor selection, project prioritization, hiring comparisons, software evaluation, process changes, and other structured choices where several factors matter at once.
The strongest driver is the criterion contributing the most to a specific option’s final score. It shows which factor had the largest influence on that option’s ranking.
A small gap suggests the decision is sensitive to assumptions. Review your ratings, test alternative weights, and examine qualitative factors before finalizing the choice.
CSV helps with spreadsheet analysis and audit trails. PDF is useful for meetings, approvals, documentation, and sharing a clean summary of your decision framework.
It is often more reliable for complex decisions because it documents assumptions, reduces bias, and clearly shows why one option outranks another.
