Decide: compare the options and formalize the choice

Direct answer

Key points

  • The score informs the decision
  • Compromises remain visible
  • Risks and dependencies are explicit
  • The choice and its conditions are documented
01

Compare while keeping uncertainty explicit

A weighting is a governance choice, not a mathematical truth. Show results by criterion, gaps, missing evidence and sensitive assumptions before producing a summary.

  • Detailed results by criterion
  • Switching thresholds
  • Continuity option
  • Reservations and disagreements
  • Next decisive information
02

Connect risks and consequences

An attractive option may remain fragile when it depends on a single supplier, a scarce capability or late financing. The comparison should therefore connect expected value, feasibility, dependencies and cash.

03

The decision remains human

Plot can assist comparison and synthesis. Map makes flows and risks visible. Pilot projects a financial trajectory, and Atlas retains the context of the decision file.

These capabilities inform the choice. The decision-maker remains responsible for the criteria, accepted risks and committed resources.
