Prompt Template
I need to decide between these options: [LIST 2-4 OPTIONS]
Context: [RELEVANT BACKGROUND — budget, timeline, team, goals]
Build a decision matrix:
- Identify the 5 most important criteria for this decision (ask me if unsure)
- Weight each criterion by importance (must total 100%)
- Score each option against each criterion (1-10)
- Calculate weighted scores
- Present as a formatted table
Then write a 2-paragraph recommendation that:
- Clearly states which option to choose and why
- Acknowledges the strongest argument for the runner-up
- Identifies the one condition that would change the recommendation
