Compares multiple named alternatives against weighted criteria to produce transparent, defensible choices with explicit trade-off analysis. Covers criterion identification, weighting approaches (direct allocation, pairwise comparison, stakeholder averaging), scoring calibration, sensitivity analysis, and group decision facilitation. Use when choosing between vendors/tools/strategies, balancing competing priorities (cost vs quality vs speed), or when user mentions…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Decision Matrix

## Overview

A decision matrix scores each option on each criterion, making subjective factors visible and comparable. It includes weighted criteria, sensitivity analysis, and clear recommendations.

**Quick example:**

| Option | Cost (30%) | Speed (25%) | Quality (45%) | Weighted Score |
|--------|-----------|------------|---------------|----------------|
| Option A | 8 (2.4) | 6 (1.5) | 9 (4.05) | **7.95** ← Winner |
| Option B | 6 (1.8) | 9 (2.25) | 7 (3.15) | 7.20 |
| Option C | 9 (2.7) | 4 (1.0) | 6 (2.7) | 6.40 |

Option A wins despite not being fastest or cheapest because quality matters most (45% weight).

## Workflow

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

```
Decision Matrix Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Frame the decision and list alternatives
- [ ] Step 2: Identify and weight criteria
- [ ] Step 3: Score each alternative on each criterion
- [ ] Step 4: Calculate weighted scores and analyze results
- [ ] Step 5: Validate quality and deliver recommendation
```

**Step 1: Frame the decision and list alternatives**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add the-utopia-studio/skills/decision-matrix@sha256:4d2443b2fe6c4a1f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.73fec06, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
