What matters
The criteria this decision should actually turn on, and their weight.
Weight each one 1 to 5, where 5 matters most. If everything is a 5, nothing is weighted — force yourself to rank. Rename or remove any that do not apply to this decision.
Score the options
Every route you are genuinely considering, including doing nothing.
Score each option 0 to 10 against every criterion, where 10 is the best possible result and 0 the worst. “Do nothing” is already listed — score it honestly, it is always one of the options.
