Why use a decision matrix pin?

Explicit weights

Hiring pool vs performance tradeoffs are visible.

Winner clarity

Totals reduce endless opinion loops.

Audit

Reopen the matrix months later to see why you chose.

Getting started

Add a decision matrix pin, list options (vendors, frameworks), define criteria and weights, score each cell. Publish beside comparison table pins for factual rows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Decision matrix vs comparison table?

Table = factual feature rows. Matrix = weighted scoring and winner.

Who assigns scores?

Working group fills scores; facilitator locks weights first.

Max score scale?

Configure max per cell—often 1–5 for workshops.
