Build a weighted decision matrix to evaluate options. Use when the user says "decision matrix", "compare options", "weighted scoring", "which option should we choose", "evaluate alternatives", "Wiegers priority matrix", "force field analysis", "decision table", "trade-off analysis", "option comparison" - even if they don't explicitly say "decision matrix".
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

Also draws on **Business Analysis Techniques** by James Cadle for Decision Tables, Decision Trees, and Force-Field Analysis, and **Lean Business Analysis** by Mark Sherrington for Real Options thinking - deferring irreversible decisions until the last responsible moment.

Common categories: …

How to install
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/decision-matrix@sha256:fc450132bbc100b9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260323.771ca1c, 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.
