Option A Weighted Score
6.6
Option B Weighted Score
6.8
How to Use This Calculator
- This calculator compares two options, Option A and Option B, across four fixed criteria.
- Enter a weight (0-100) for each of the four criteria based on its relative importance; weights are automatically normalized so they sum to 100%.
- Score Option A and Option B on each criterion using a 0-10 scale.
- Review the weighted score, normalized (0-100) score, and winner for each option.
- Check the sensitivity score and victory margin to see how close the decision is and how much a weight would need to change to flip it.
How the result changes with Option A — Criterion 1 Score
| Option A — Criterion 1 Score | Option A Weighted Score | Option B Weighted Score |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4.8 | 6.8 |
| 3.5 | 5.55 | 6.8 |
| 6.5 | 6.45 | 6.8 |
| 9 | 7.2 | 6.8 |

- Option A — Criterion 2 Score
- Score for option A on criterion 2 (0-10)
- Option A — Criterion 3 Score
- Score for option A on criterion 3 (0-10)
- Option A — Criterion 4 Score
- Score for option A on criterion 4 (0-10)
- Option B — Criterion 1 Score
- Score for option B on criterion 1 (0-10)
- Option B — Criterion 2 Score
- Score for option B on criterion 2 (0-10)
- Option B — Criterion 3 Score
- Score for option B on criterion 3 (0-10)
- Option B — Criterion 4 Score
