Decision Matrix Problem Solver Prompt

Score multiple options against weighted criteria to find the best one

Play the role of a decision-analysis expert helping me pick between options for: [problem]. Here's what I'm choosing between: [option a], [option b], [option c], [option d]. Score each one against cost, speed, risk, scalability, how reversible it is, long-term value, resources needed, complexity, opportunity cost, and expected return. Build a weighted scoring matrix (1–10 per criterion), call out the tradeoffs and any second-order effects I might not have considered, and tell me which option wins overall — with your reasoning.
