How it works

Three steps from a vague dilemma to a ranked answer you can defend.

01

Say what you're deciding

One line is enough: "rent or buy", "which laptop for travel", "where to move next year".

02

Get a first draft

StaMatrix picks the criteria, lists realistic options and fills in starting scores for each.

03

Make it yours

Set how much each criterion counts, edit any score, add or drop options. The ranking recalculates as you type.

What it does

A weighted decision matrix, without the spreadsheet.

Weighted scoring

Each criterion carries an importance from 1 to 5; options score 1 to 5. The rank is the weighted sum.

Inverse criteria

Flag cost, risk or anything where less is better, and StaMatrix flips it before scoring.

A radar you can read

Every option is a shape on the chart, so trade-offs are visible instead of buried in a table.

What is a decision matrix?

A decision matrix (also called a priority matrix or Pugh matrix) is a tool for evaluating and ranking a list of options. You compare each choice against several criteria that matter to the decision, give every criterion a weight, score the options, and read off which one comes out ahead. It turns a fuzzy judgment call into something you can see and adjust.

The same method works almost anywhere. In business it compares projects or investments on cost, ROI and impact. In product work it ranks features by customer need, effort and reach. For personal choices, like a college, a job offer or a city to move to, it weighs the options against your own priorities. Change a weight and the recommendation changes with it, so the matrix is a place to think, not just a verdict.
