HowTo

1

Name your decision

Briefly describe what your decision is about – e.g. "Which car should I buy?" or "Which job offer should I take?". A clear title helps you stay focused.

Set criteria & importance

What matters to you in this decision? Add your criteria and rate how important each one is – from 0.5 to 5 stars.

Rate your options

For each option and criterion, move a slider from 1 (poor) to 10 (great). How well does this option meet this criterion?

Rate your options

Decidit automatically calculates the total score for each option and highlights the best one. If the result doesn't feel right, adjust your weightings.

Tips 🙋‍♂️
  • Don't create too many criteria. Ten or more will make it confusing. Focus on the most important factors.
  • Make sure that multiple criteria do not measure the same thing (e.g., "Range" and "Fuel consumption"), otherwise this aspect will be weighted twice and distort the result.
  • If your gut feeling doesn't match the result, double-check your criteria; perhaps you've forgotten something. Or perhaps you've already made up your mind. Even then, the decision matrix has provided you with an important insight. See also: coin flip trick
