Increase your chances of success with this decision matrix app! This app uses a weighted-average formula which calculates results based on your factors and their importance. FAQ: What can I use this app for? - Evaluating job offers - Choosing your next car or house - Deciding on a holiday destination - Business decisions Can I delete unwanted decisions, factors and options? Yes, just swipe from right to left in order to reveal the delete button. What's the difference between weighted and binary factors? Both factors must be given a score of 1-10 for their importance (10 being very important). When adding an option, weighted factors are scored from 0-10 and binary factors are scored as true or false. Both weighted and binary factors contribute to the final score for each option. How does it work? This app uses a decision matrix in order to rank options against weighted factors. This provides an overall score for each option and helps with comparison. Example: You add a factor named 'pay' and set its importance to 8 (high). Company A pays averagely so you score it 5. This gives it a weighted score of 40 (5 x 8). Company B pays well so you score it 9. This gives a weighed score of 72 (9 x 8). This option is the winner. This is a powerful tool when analysing multiple factors and options at once.
