Identify all relevant criteria for evaluation and assign a weighting (1-5, 5 being most important) to each.

| Criterion | Description | Weight (1-5) |

|---|---|---|

| {{criterion_1}} | {{criterion_1_description}} | {{weight_1}} |

| {{criterion_2}} | {{criterion_2_description}} | {{weight_2}} |

| {{criterion_3}} | {{criterion_3_description}} | {{weight_3}} |

| {{criterion_4}} | {{criterion_4_description}} | {{weight_4}} |

| {{criterion_5}} | {{criterion_5_description}} | {{weight_5}} |

| {{criterion_6}} | {{criterion_6_description}} | {{weight_6}} |

Add more rows as needed for additional criteria.

Options for Evaluation

List all potential options to be evaluated:

1. {{option_1_name}}: {{option_1_description}}

2. {{option_2_name}}: {{option_2_description}}

3. {{option_3_name}}: {{option_3_description}}

Add more points as needed for additional options.

Evaluation Matrix

Score each option against each criterion (1-5, 5 being best). The weighted score is calculated as (Score x Weight).

| Option / Criterion | {{criterion_1}} (Weight: {{weight_1}}) | {{criterion_2}} (Weight: {{weight_2}}) | {{criterion_3}} (Weight: {{weight_3}}) | {{criterion_4}} (Weight: {{weight_4}}) | {{criterion_5}} (Weight: {{weight_5}}) | Total Weighted Score |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| {{option_1_name}} | {{option_1_score_criterion_1}} | {{option_1_score_criterion_2}} | {{option_1_score_criterion_3}} | {{option_1_score_criterion_4}} | {{option_1_score_criterion_5}} | {{option_1_total_weighted_score}} |

| {{option_2_name}} | {{option_2_score_criterion_1}} | {{option_2_score_criterion_2}} | {{option_2_score_criterion_3}} | {{option_2_score_criterion_4}} | {{option_2_score_criterion_5}} | {{option_2_total_weighted_score}} |

| {{option_3_name}} | {{option_3_score_criterion_1}} | {{option_3_score_criterion_2}} | {{option_3_score_criterion_3}} | {{option_3_score_criterion_4}} | {{option_3_score_criterion_5}} | {{option_3_total_weighted_score}} |

Add more rows and columns as needed for additional options and criteria.
