M2: Multi-Dimensional Evaluation - Selection Logic

Evaluate options across dimensions; set weights based on your needs.

Aliases: M2, Multi-criteria evaluation

Overview

Evaluate options across dimensions; set weights based on your needs.


Theoretical basis


The evaluation template

  1. Choose dimensions (facts).
  2. Define criteria per dimension (how to measure).
  3. Collect evidence and note uncertainty.
  4. Set weights from needs.
  5. Compute a fit score and document assumptions.

Output artifacts (for validation)

  • a scoring table,
  • weight vector,
  • evidence sources,
  • uncertainty notes.

These enable M5 validation and future improvement.
