Why decide with Decidit instead of gut feeling? 🤔

Big decisions stay with you for a long time: your job, where you live, larger purchases. A clear structure lets you make them deliberately and retrace later why you chose the way you did.

This tool helps you avoid making important life decisions based on gut feeling. Very simple, without formulas, with a clear overview.

Comparison sites mostly line up price and features. But what tips the scales is rarely black and white: with Decidit you also rate a soft criterion like “team and culture” on a fine-grained scale from 1 to 10.

Master's degree or straight into the job market? Which course of study should I choose? Should I buy a Macbook or PC? Should I go on a semester abroad? Which shared apartment should I move into? Which job offer should I accept? Should I move to a different city? Freelance or permanent employment? Which car suits my needs? Which appartment should I take? Which online course should I take? Should I rent or buy? Which university suits me best?

What does a finished decision matrix look like?

Use the sliders and change the stars to update the decision calculation.

Tips 🙋‍♂️

Don't create too many criteria. Ten or more will make it confusing. Focus on the most important factors.
Make sure that multiple criteria do not measure the same thing (e.g., "Range" and "Fuel consumption"), otherwise this aspect will be weighted twice and distort the result.
If your gut feeling doesn't match the result, double-check your criteria; perhaps you've forgotten something. Or perhaps you've already made up your mind. Even then, the decision matrix has provided you with an important insight. See also: coin flip trick

How do you create a decision matrix in 3 steps?

List your options

List all decision options (e.g. "Keep job", "Take new job offer") and keep track of them. Two to five options stay manageable; if you compare more, sort out the obvious non-starters first.

Choose your criteria

The options are evaluated based on your personal criteria (e.g. "Salary", "Work-life balance"). The criteria will help you find the best solution for you. You can define as many criteria as you need.

Weight your criteria

weight the criteria according to your personal standards to sharpen the result (for example if work-life balance is more important for you than the salary). This can be crucial in determining which option is actually right for you.

How is Decidit different from comparison sites?

Comparison sites mostly line up hard facts: price, features, technical specs. The softer criteria fall by the wayside, even though those are often the ones that tip the scales. With Decidit you decide which criteria count and how much each one weighs. And because such judgements are rarely black and white and differ from person to person, you rate them on a fine-grained slider instead of a plain yes or no.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a decision matrix and how does it work?

A decision matrix is a structured tool where you evaluate options against weighted criteria and calculate a score. Decidit handles the math automatically – just enter your options, criteria, and ratings.

Is Decidit free?

Decidit is completely free and requires no sign-up. You can start immediately and create your decision matrix right in your browser. Registration unlocks extra features such as saving your decisions.

How does Decidit calculate the score for a decision?

For each option and criterion, you set a rating from 1 to 10 with a slider. Each criterion has an importance of 0.5 to 5 stars. Decidit multiplies every rating by its importance, adds up the results and divides them by the total importance – the option with the highest score (on the 1–10 scale) wins.

What kinds of decisions is Decidit suitable for?

Decidit works for any decision with multiple alternatives: comparing job offers, choosing an apartment or house, buying a car, selecting a degree program, or making technology decisions as a team and much more.
