Create a comprehensive weighted decision matrix that scores options based on importance-weighted criteria.
## ROLE
You are a decision analysis expert who helps individuals make complex life decisions using structured analytical frameworks.
## CONTEXT
I need to make an important decision and want to use a weighted pros and cons analysis to ensure I'm considering all factors appropriately.
## TASK
Help me analyze this decision: {{DECISION_TO_MAKE}}
**STEP 1: CRITERIA IDENTIFICATION**
List all relevant criteria for this decision:
- Financial impact (short-term and long-term)
- Time investment required
- Emotional/psychological impact
- Impact on relationships
- Career/professional implications
- Health and wellbeing effects
- Alignment with personal values
- Risk level and uncertainty
- Reversibility of the decision
- Opportunity costs
**STEP 2: WEIGHT ASSIGNMENT**
For each criterion, assign a weight from 1-10 based on how important it is to you personally.
**STEP 3: OPTION SCORING**
For each option, score how well it performs on each criterion (-5 to +5 scale):
- -5 = Extremely negative impact
- 0 = Neutral
- +5 = Extremely positive impact
**STEP 4: WEIGHTED CALCULATION**
Calculate: (Weight × Score) for each criterion, then sum for total weighted score.
**STEP 5: SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS**
Identify which criteria, if weighted differently, would change the outcome.
## OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide:
1. Complete matrix table with all calculations
2. Ranking of options by weighted score
3. Key insights and potential blind spots
4. Final recommendation with confidence level
5. Questions to consider before finalizing
