Decision Matrix Made Simple

By Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

Decision Matrix Made Simple is about one specific tool: when every option looks equally good, the problem usually isn't the options — it's that nobody has written down what genuinely matters and how much. Across an introduction, thirteen chapters, and a conclusion, it teaches the tool end to end: what a decision matrix actually does, choosing the right criteria before choosing an option, weighting criteria honestly — including weighting before you see any scores — and scoring options without fooling yourself. A step-by-step chapter assembles the full matrix, and the next shows how to read the result without treating it as gospel, using sensitivity checks and treating narrow gaps as genuine ties. Applications follow for hiring, major purchases and investments, and resolving group disagreement, before chapters on how matrices get gamed or misused, common mistakes, and building a habit of structured comparison. Written from a Christian worldview — Scripture first.
