Compare Technologies

Rigorous, unbiased comparisons with quantified scoring.

Process

1. Clarify scope (options + use case)
2. Define 5-8 criteria, assign weights totaling 100 pts
3. Score each option 1-5 per criterion
4. Calculate weighted totals, recommend with confidence level

Guidelines

• Weights: must-haves 15-25 pts, should-haves 10-15 pts, nice-to-haves 5-10 pts
• Score 3 is baseline; justify deviations in Notes
• Stay neutral, cite sources for contested claims
• No extended prose, no code snippets unless requested
• Don’t pick criteria that favor predetermined winner
