Compare build, buy, integrate, automate, defer or retire options across twelve decision criteria (from business value and total cost of ownership to vendor dependency and reversibility) before committing budget.
The result is a ranked comparison of your options with the score drivers behind each ranking made explicit. It flags critical unknowns, marks where a ranking is driven by weak assumptions rather than evidence, and identifies options that should be deferred or investigated further. It closes with the decision gates and discovery work required before committing, and a consulting or engineering route where that work needs professional depth.
You define the business problem and candidate options, then score each option across the twelve criteria with guided prompts, attaching notes, assumptions and evidence as you go. The matrix weighs the scores into a ranking and, just as importantly, highlights where that ranking rests on weak assumptions, so a confident-looking winner built on guesswork is visibly provisional. The tool structures your judgement; it does not select vendors or approve investments on your behalf.
Results are rule-based guidance generated from self-reported answers. They are directional, not accounting, legal or other professional advice, and a professional review working from evidence may reach different conclusions.
The matrix runs inside Web Lifter Studio and each comparison saves to your private workspace against a named initiative, with its scores, notes and assumptions kept together. The record stays editable as discovery progresses and can be re-scored as evidence replaces assumption.
Technology decisions rarely finish at the first scoring. Each matrix is saved against a named initiative and stays editable: re-score options after vendor conversations or technical validation, watch the ranking shift as assumptions become evidence, and track the decision through exploring, validating, approved, deferred or rejected. Six months later, the record still shows why the option won, and on what evidence.
When the result points at a constraint that needs professional depth, these engagements pick it up.
Registration is free, no card required, and your results save to your workspace so the working stays in one place.
