Structure a decision between two or more options along the criteria that actually matter to you.
Use case

I'm deciding between these options: {options}.
The criteria that matter most to me are: {criteria}. Additional context: {context}.
Build a comparison table scoring each option against each criterion (use a simple High/Medium/Low or 1-5 scale, your choice, but be consistent). Then give a direct recommendation with your reasoning — don't just present the table and stay neutral. If you think I'm missing an important criterion, say so.Usage guidance
Be honest about what you actually care about in the criteria field, not what you think you should care about — the recommendation is only as useful as the criteria are honest.
Example input
Options: stay at current job vs. take a new offer. Criteria: compensation, growth potential, work-life balance, job security. Context: current job is stable but stagnant; new offer is 20% more pay at a smaller, less stable company.
Example output
| Criterion | Stay | New Offer |\n|---|---|---|\n| Compensation | Medium | High |...\n\nRecommendation: ...
