How the weighted comparison works

Scores organize the values and priorities you enter; they do not establish an objectively correct choice. Your draft stays in this browser, while shared links contain the option names and values shown here.

  • Ratings keep their 0–10 meaning; numeric values are scored relative to the best entered value.
  • Low, medium, and high importance count as weights of 1, 3, and 5.
  • Every criterion is put on the same 0–100 scale before the weighted average is calculated.
  • Incomplete criteria are excluded for every option, so missing data never receives a hidden zero.
