The SteVall Decision Matrix™

Not every signing offer is a good business opportunity.

The SteVall Decision Matrix™ is a practical, fillable business tool designed to help notaries evaluate the complete signing assignment—not merely react to the fee displayed on the screen.

In approximately five minutes, you can assess the compensation, total time, travel and expenses, workload, requirements, schedule fit, and opportunity cost before deciding whether to:

• ACCEPT the offer as presented

• COUNTER with a fee that makes business sense

• DECLINE the assignment confidently
