Decide how to
compare the options.
Agree on impact, data readiness, delivery feasibility and value for effort. Give each criterion a weight to show its importance.
For example, a short deadline may make delivery feasibility more important than potential impact.

An 8 out of 10 is someone’s judgment. Attach the source behind it, ask what’s missing, and let a colleague check it. A linked source and a verified judgment are different things.

Scoring and comparison methods
Inspect weighted scores and alternative calculations. Method agreement is a consistency check, not proof that the inputs are correct.
AHP pairwise weighting
Derive weights from pairwise comparisons, with a consistency-ratio check that flags contradictory judgments.
TOPSIS
Compare how close each option is to the best scores in the current set.
PROMETHEE II
Compare options in pairs and rank their overall preference scores.
Pareto efficient frontier
Find options that no other option outperforms on both chart axes.
"What would change my mind?"
See which priority changes could alter the leading option within the tested range.
