Weighted scoring
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.
question
Weight the criteria before you meet the options
Weights assigned after you have a favorite are just the favorite in numeric clothing.
A working method
Name the criteria. Force a 100% total. Ask what would have to be true for a low-weight criterion to deserve more. If one weight flip reverses the verdict, write it down.
How Argumont treats it
You can freeze weights. Sensitivity is a reason to keep confidence honest.
