Tribium Decisions

Decide on purpose.

Tribium Decisions turns a hard choice into a model: the goal broken down into the objectives that matter, how much each one counts, and how every alternative scores against them.

How it works

The goalCost40%Quality35%Risk25%1Option C2Option A3Option B
A goal is broken into weighted objectives, each with a preference function. Every alternative is scored on them, and the ranking - with how sure it is - follows.

What it does

  • Hierarchies of objectives

    Break the goal down into what matters, level by level, and weigh each part.

  • Preference functions

    Say how good each value is, numeric or symbolic, and see it drawn.

  • Problems and alternatives

    Score the alternatives of a real decision against a model, with the people deciding it.

  • Sensitivity and what-if

    See how far a weight can move before the ranking changes.

  • Uncertain values

    Give a range instead of a guess, and see how often each alternative wins.

  • Reports

    The model, the scores and the analysis as a PDF to share.

Who it is for

Anyone who has to choose between options against several objectives and show how the choice was made: a goal broken into weighted objectives, each scored by a preference function, and the alternatives ranked on the data.

What it is not

A spreadsheet with a column of scores. Decisions keeps the model, the weights and the reasoning, not only the result.

Why it is worth it

  • A decision you can explain, and defend.
  • Know how robust the outcome is before you commit to it.
  • People argue about what matters, not about the conclusion.

Plans

Decisions is priced on its own, by use, on top of a Tribium account subscription: a month in which nobody used it costs nothing. The amounts are being settled; until then, ask.
