This is where the real work is done. Each cell in the table contains the rating for a given option and criterion. Numeric ratings can be scaled to meet the needs of each criterion. Results DecideRight presents the overall score for each option in the summary column. Once the main decision table is created, users can create alternative scenarios that reflect changes to criteria weights and ratings.
Scenarios can be particularly powerful tools for group decision-making.
As each participant s scenario is presented and discussed, other participants can reflect on their own scenarios and assumptions. The participants will better understand one another s points of view and, with a little luck, will move quickly toward consensus. DecideRight can produce a detailed report that explains the decision and all the factors that went into making it. The explanation of which factors were most critical in choosing among the options is particularly helpful. The report can be printed or sent to a file for editing via word processing software.
