Weighted decision matrix

Do you need a system, or is Excel enough?

Six criteria, each a slider between Excel and a shared system. You say where you stand and what matters most to you, the matrix works out the rest. If the answer is that you should stay with Excel, that is what you will read.

The matrix

Move the sliders to where you actually are

The middle position is neutral, so if a criterion says nothing to you, leave it there. The two scores mirror each other: pushed all the way left, Excel wins outright.

  1. Team

    I work alone Several of us, in parallel

  2. Data

    A few files on my machine are enough Scattered across several places

  3. Traceability

    I keep track of who decided what It has to be searchable later

  4. Growth

    Stable size, we are not growing The company is growing, more processes

  5. Manual work

    Not much repetition Plenty of copying and reporting

  6. Processes

    Simple, I know them by heart Many exceptions and steps
Which two matter most to you?

Pick at most two. What you pick counts double.

Excel

50 / 100

IntrApp

50 / 100

What the matrix says

Move the sliders

The sliders sit in the middle, so nothing leans either way yet. Move them to where you actually are, and it works out whether you need a system or you are fine with Excel.

How it adds up

No trick in it, and you can check

It adds up the six slider values, counts the two criteria you marked twice over, and maps the result onto a scale of a hundred. That is why the IntrApp score and the Excel score always come to a hundred. Whichever is above fifty wins, and above seventy it is no longer close.

Every answer sits in the address bar, so the result is a shareable link: send it to your co-owner or your accountant and they will see the same thing. It works without JavaScript too, you just press Work it out.

If the answer was that Excel is pinching, the next question is usually the price. On the pricing page you can work out your own figure without asking anyone.
