DecTrack helps teams make structured, transparent decisions together, from defining options to reaching consensus.

What is a decision matrix?: A decision matrix (also called Pugh matrix or weighted scoring model) is a tool for evaluating multiple options against a set of weighted criteria. Each option is scored on each criterion, and the weighted totals reveal the objectively best choice.
How do I choose the right weights?: Assign weights (1-5) based on how important each criterion is. Use pairwise comparison mode for more accuracy: compare each pair of criteria and let the tool calculate optimal weights.
What's the difference between a decision matrix and a pro/con list?: A pro/con list is qualitative: you list advantages and disadvantages. A decision matrix is quantitative: you score options on specific criteria with numerical weights. Use a matrix when you have 3+ options and multiple criteria.
How many criteria should I use?: 5-8 criteria is ideal. Fewer than 3 doesn't add much value over a simple comparison. More than 10 becomes hard to manage and may dilute important factors.
Can I use this for team decisions?: This tool works well for individual analysis. For team decisions where multiple people need to rate options, try DecTrack.
Is my data saved?: Your data is automatically saved in your browser's local storage for 30 days. No data leaves your device.
