Weights are a decision, not a decoration

A score without weights is a vibe with arithmetic. Weighted scoring forces you to say what matters before you fall in love with an option.

What it means

Each criterion gets a weight. Option scores are combined. The interesting work is choosing the weights, not formatting the total.

How to apply it

Write criteria first. Assign weights that total 100%. Score only after that. If changing one weight reverses the winner, write that down.

How Argumont uses this

Argumont creates decision-specific criteria and explicit weights. It does not apply one generic framework to every problem.

A score says this option is stronger on this criterion, given this evidence. If you cannot show the evidence, the score is decoration.
