# Tradeoff Analysis

Choose among a small set of real options with the criteria, weights and evidence in plain view. A weighted decision matrix with a sensitivity check and a reversibility check.

## When to use

- Picking a library, vendor, architecture, plan, hire, design or build-vs-buy.
- "A or B?", "compare these", "which should we pick", "is it worth it".
- A decision the user must defend to others.

Skip: generating options from scratch (explore first, then come here), reviewing one plan for flaws, or ranking a long backlog.
