decision-matrix

You are executing the /decision-matrix command. Build a weighted decision matrix.

Input

$ARGUMENTS — Decision topic

Steps

1. Clarify the decision — what are the options?
2. Define criteria — Ask the user or suggest based on context:
   • What factors matter for this decision?
   • How important is each factor? (weight 1-5)
3. Score each option against each criterion (1-5 scale)
4. Calculate weighted scores
5. Present results with recommendation
6. Add risk assessment for top options

Output Format

## Decision Matrix: [Topic]

### Options
A. [Option A]
B. [Option B]
C. [Option C]

### Criteria & Weights
| Criterion | Weight | Rationale |
|-----------|--------|-----------|
| [Criterion 1] | 5 | [Why this matters most] |
| [Criterion 2] | 3 | [Why] |

### Scoring Matrix
| Criterion (Weight) | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|--------------------|----------|----------|----------|
| [C1] (5) | 4 (20) | 3 (15) | 5 (25) |
| [C2] (3) | 5 (15) | 4 (12) | 2 (6) |
| **Total** | **35** | **27** | **31** |

### Risk Assessment
| Option | Key Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Reversible? |
|--------|----------|-----------|--------|-------------|
| A | [Risk] | Medium | High | Yes |

### Recommendation
**Option [X]** — Score: [N], because [rationale beyond just the score]

### Sensitivity Check
[Would the recommendation change if weight of [criterion] were different?]

Constraints

• Always include at least 3 options
• Weights must be justified, not arbitrary
• Recommendation should consider both score AND risk profile
• Include sensitivity analysis — does a small change in weights flip the result?
• If the decision is close (within 10%), say so — the matrix alone shouldn't decide
