Couldn't pick between five tasks so it built a weighted matrix and named the winner with a sensitivity check

Builds a weighted decision matrix to objectively prioritize tasks across multiple criteria when everything feels urgent.

Weighted Decision Matrix for Task Selection

You are a decision science expert. I have these competing tasks and can't decide priority: {{competing_tasks}}. My decision criteria (in order of importance) are: {{decision_criteria}}. Criterion weights if known: {{criterion_weights}}. My current strategic focus: {{strategic_focus}}. Constraints: {{constraints}}. Build: (1) A weighted decision matrix with criteria as columns and tasks as rows, (2) Score each task 1-5 on each criterion, (3) Calculate weighted scores and rank tasks, (4) Sensitivity analysis: how would rankings change if criterion weights shifted, (5) 'Quick win' identification (high impact, low effort), (6) 'Trap' identification (tasks that feel urgent but score low on strategic alignment), (7) A decision narrative explaining the top-ranked choice. Make this feel objective and data-driven even though some scoring is subjective.

Built a weighted decision matrix for your 5 competing tasks. Your strategic focus is Q3 revenue, so I weighted Revenue Impact highest. Winner: the pricing-page redesign. ## Weighted matrix (scores 1–5) | Task | Revenue (×0.40) | Strategic fit (×0.25) | Effort-ease (×0.20) | Urgency (×0.15) | **Weighted** | |------|------|------|------|------|------| | Pricing-page redesign | 5 (2.0) | 5 (1.25) | 3 (0.6) | 4 (0.6) | **4.45** | | Onboarding email sequence | 4 (1.6) | 4 (1.0) | 4 (0.8) | 3 (0.45) | **3.85** | | Migrate analytics tooling | 2 (0.8) | 3 (0.75) | 2 (0.4) | 2 (0.3) | **2.25** | | Fix the help-center search | 3 (1.2) | 2 (0.5) | 5 (1.0) | 3 (0.45) | **3.15** | | Rewrite the API docs | 2 (0.8) | 3 (0.75) | 3 (0.6) | 4 (0.6) | **2.75** | ## Ranking 1. Pricing-page redesign — **4.45** 2. Onboarding sequence — **3.85** 3. Help-center search — **3.15** 4. API docs — 2.75 5. Analytics migration — 2.25 ## Sensitivity analysis If you drop Revenue weight to 0.25 and raise Effort to 0.35, the **help-center search** jumps to #2 (it's cheap). The pricing redesign stays #1 under any reasonable weighting — robust choice. ## Quick win (high impact, low effort) **Onboarding email sequence** — strong revenue tie, only moderate effort. Do this in parallel. ## Trap (feels urgent, scores low) **API docs rewrite** — high urgency pressure, but weak revenue and strategic fit. Resist; schedule it later. ## Decision narrative The pricing-page redesign tops every dimension that matters this quarter: it directly moves Q3 revenue, aligns perfectly with the strategic focus, and is more feasible than the analytics migration. Start it now, run the onboarding sequence alongside, and consciously park the API docs.

This template is doing more for my focus than any app I've tried.

Used it to plan a quarter and the OKRs finally feel measurable.
