A Decision You
Can Explain.
Compare the options against the work you actually need to do, then make the recommendation traceable.
Comparison Matrix
| Criterion | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core workflow fit | Strong | Strong | Moderate |
| Setup effort | High | Low | Low |
| Ongoing maintenance | Moderate | Low | High |
| Data portability | Strong | Strong | Limited |
| Overall assessment | Good for larger teams | Recommended for the pilot | Needs more evidence |
What Could Change This?
A failed export test or a missing critical integration would reopen the decision.
Sources to Attach
Source register: product documentation — not supplied; trial notes — not supplied; export test — pending; dated interview findings — not supplied. Record title, URL or file, date, and the claim each source supports.
Evidence register
01 · Workflow fit · Evidence needed
Run the same project-update task through each option. Record completion, missing steps, reviewer, and date. No real trial is recorded in this example.
02 · Portability · Export test pending
Export an example project and reopen it elsewhere. Attach the export and note any missing content before accepting the rating.
03 · Recommendation · What would change it?
Reopen the decision if the export fails or an essential integration is missing. Keep the matrix marked illustrative until evidence supports each rating.
