Decision Wizard · Housing
Where and how should you live?
Buying, renting or waiting for something better — each choice scores differently on cost, space, location and upkeep.
How does the wizard work?
Each situation has its own set of questions and starting weights, which is what makes the flow feel tailored. The report scores every option from 1 (weak) to 10 (strong) per question, multiplies each score by the question’s importance (1–5), and ranks the totals. Confidence comes from the gap between the top two options. The alternative scenario re-runs the same scores with equal importance on every question.
About this tool. The Decision Wizard organizes your options and makes trade-offs visible. It never makes the decision for you — nothing you enter is stored, and the result only reflects what you typed in.
Worked example
A realistic scenario, already filled in. Open it, then change one number at a time to see what actually moves the result.
A career decision with three paths
Staying in the current role, taking the new opportunity, or a third path scored on income, growth, balance and stress. The report shows the best match, its trade-offs and what happens when every criterion counts equally.

Frequently asked questions
What does the decision report add to a simple score?
It adds four things: how confident the result is, the strongest positive factors behind the winning option, the trade-offs you are accepting by choosing it, and an alternative scenario where every criterion counts equally.
Can I use the Decision Wizard for something that is not listed?
Yes. Choose Other, name your own options and score them on the six generic questions. The structure is the same, only the questions are less tailored.
Is my input saved or shared with anyone?
No. Everything lives in the link you are on. Nothing is stored, no account is required, and closing the page leaves nothing behind.
The report recommends an option I had already ruled out. What should I do?
Ask yourself which criterion you scored generously without believing it. Re-scoring honestly, rather than re-weighting until you get the answer you wanted, is usually what makes the report useful.
