Decision-Making

When you’re choosing between several good options, the answer isn’t always obvious. That’s where weighted scoring models come in.

This technique helps you make structured, objective decisions by comparing options based on a set of predefined criteria. It’s especially helpful when:

• Multiple people are involved in the decision
• The stakes are high
• You need to show a transparent, fair process

What Is a Weighted Scoring Model?

A weighted scoring model evaluates different options against key criteria—each with a specific weight to reflect its importance. The result is a simple score that makes it easier to compare choices.
