Evaluating architecture options involves building a weighted criteria matrix that scores concrete design paths on novelty, feasibility, alignment, and risk to output a recommendation and first concrete step.

A criteria matrix for design decision-making is a scoring model that weighs concrete options against novelty, feasibility, alignment, and risk, producing a top recommendation, key risk, and a first concrete step.

Comparing algorithms requires clarifying the decision scope and applying weighted scores for feasibility and risk, which outputs a prioritized design path with a rationale and an actionable first step.

Yes, you can use this process when you select a research direction or ask how to implement a feature, converting 2-3 concrete options into a decision-ready matrix with a recommended path.

The limitation of a weighted matrix is that it operates strictly on 2-3 concrete options provided, meaning it cannot generate new alternatives or evaluate paths outside the defined decision scope.
