# Pick the right option with a scorecard you fill in yourself

> Because you do the scoring, the answer is yours, and the math shows exactly where your gut disagrees.

List your options and what matters, each weighted 1 to 5. AI gives you a blank scorecard to fill in yourself, then does the math, ranks the options and points out patterns you might miss.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I'm deciding between these options: [YOUR OPTIONS, e.g. three part-time programs]. Key details about each: [OPTION DETAILS]. My criteria, each with a weight from 1 to 5 for how much it matters: [CRITERIA AND WEIGHTS, e.g. cost 5, schedule 4, fun 2]. Don't score anything for me yet. First, give me a blank table with the options down the side and the criteria across the top, and ask me to score each one from 1 to 10. When I send my scores, calculate the weighted totals, rank the options, point out any surprising patterns, and tell me what would have to change for the second-place option to win. Leave the final decision to me.
```

## Step by step

1. List 3 to 7 options and what you know about each.
2. Paste the prompt below with your criteria and their weights.
3. Fill in the scores it asks for, from 1 to 10.
4. Ask what would have to change for the second choice to win.

## What you'll get

A blank scorecard to fill in, then weighted totals, a ranking, patterns worth noticing and what would flip the result.
