Compare options against weighted criteria together. Everyone scores independently, results are revealed at once - no anchoring, no HiPPO effect.
Start a sessionIdentify what matters: cost, risk, impact, feasibility, or anything else relevant to this decision. Set a weight - Low, Medium, or High - to reflect each criterion's importance.
List the options you are choosing between. Keep them specific enough to be meaningfully comparable.
Everyone rates each option against each criterion on a 1 to 5 scale. Scores are hidden until the host reveals results - no anchoring from seeing others vote first.
Scores are averaged and multiplied by criterion weights. Options are ranked by total weighted score. Discuss outliers and make your decision together.
Decisions where the right choice is not obvious and multiple people have a stake.
Build vs buy, framework A vs framework B, monolith vs microservices. When engineers, product, and leadership all have different opinions, a structured scoring session surfaces the real trade-offs.
Evaluating three monitoring tools, two cloud providers, or five project management platforms? The matrix forces everyone to engage with every option against the same criteria - not just advocate for their favorite.
When multiple potential projects are competing for the next quarter and the team needs to agree on which one to invest in first.
Choosing a new meeting cadence, a sprint length, or a workflow change. Structured scoring prevents the decision from defaulting to whoever speaks loudest.
