Provide:

**Decision Overview**
- Decision statement: [Clear articulation of decision]
- Decision type: [REVERSIBLE / IRREVERSIBLE]
- Stakes: [HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW]
- Complexity: [HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW]

**Options Identified**
| Option | Brief Description | Initial Reaction |
|--------|-------------------|------------------|
| A | | |
| B | | |
| C | | |
| D (Status quo) | | |

**Criteria Development**

| Criterion | Weight | Why Important | Measurement |
|-----------|--------|---------------|-------------|
| Criterion 1 | 25% | [Rationale] | [How to score] |
| Criterion 2 | 20% | [Rationale] | [How to score] |
| Criterion 3 | 20% | [Rationale] | [How to score] |
| Criterion 4 | 15% | [Rationale] | [How to score] |
| Criterion 5 | 10% | [Rationale] | [How to score] |
| Criterion 6 | 10% | [Rationale] | [How to score] |

**Decision Matrix**

| Criterion (Weight) | Option A | Option B | Option C | Option D |
|--------------------|----------|----------|----------|----------|
| C1 (25%) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) |
| C2 (20%) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) |
| C3 (20%) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) |
| C4 (15%) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) |
| C5 (10%) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) |
| C6 (10%) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) | X (Y) |
| **Total** | **X** | **X** | **X** | **X** |

Scores: 1-5 (1=Poor, 5=Excellent)
Weighted Score = Score × Weight

**Sensitivity Analysis**
- If we increase weight of [criterion]...
- Winner changes if [condition]...
