Help me decide between: [option A], [option B], [option C].

My situation: [budget, needs, team size, constraints]

My top criteria (most important first): [price, ease of use, security, support, ...]

Create: (1) a table with each option as a column and each criterion as a row, (2) a 1-5 score with a one-line reason, (3) weights I can change, (4) a total score, (5) a recommendation and when I should choose the second-best instead. List what you are unsure about and what I should verify myself.

How to use this prompt

  • Write the criteria in order of importance.
  • Verify prices and features on the official websites.
  • Change the weights and ask for the table again.

Example

Three project-management tools are scored on price, learning time and integrations, and the winner changes if you double the weight of price.

Tips for better results

  • AI can be out of date on prices — always check current details.
  • Ask "what would make me regret this choice?" for a reality check.
