Instructions

This rubric is a template for making robust decision. You can copy this rubric and modify it for the decision you need to make.

To illustrate how this rubric can be used to make decisions, the rubric identifies considerations relating to choosing a new car. The considerations are based on four pillars;- economics, reliability, comfort and cosmetics. The considerations carry different weights to ensure the overall score for each choice factors in the relevant importance of each aspect.

The possible options are identified as separate assessments against the rubric. The average score of each option should then indicate which is the overall best option.
