Decision Oven

You’re most likely facing difficult decisions every day, and most of the times can prove quite the struggle. On the bright side of things, there are specialized computer applications which can help you weigh in all variables in order to be on the right track. This is exactly what Decision Oven wants to accomplish.

Setup is over before you realize, and you have the chance to quickly check out the program’s set of features. It comes with a stylish interface fitted with several skins to choose from to make it blend with your desktop configuration. Several tabs make navigation through decision items a walk in the park.

There’s no example to quickly get you started, but you don’t really need to spend a lot of time to figure out how things work. A couple of items need to be filled in to obtain accurate results. On the one hand, a solid set of criteria must be added to your workspace. The number of criteria you ad is entirely up to you, depending on the weight of the decision.

Criteria comes in two forms, namely value or score, as well as a yes or no decision. The first type also lets you set the operation type, with either more or less representing the value closer to the favorable output. With this option selected, you have the possibility to provide the acceptable value.

Once criteria is configured, you can move on to the options tab. Here, you get to add the options of your decision, with criteria associated to each option. Values need to be filled in for each criteria, based on the type. The rankings tab is the last place to visit. Here you get an organized table which contains positive or negative scores of all options based on criteria values.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Decision Oven might not feel like it can be of much help at a first glance, but it’s sure to at least point you in the right direction. Just a couple of items need to be filled in, by the end of which decisions are easier with scores in plain sight.
