The Agent Architect #42: Multi-Criteria Weighted Scoring

Pattern of the week

Multi-Criteria Weighted Scoring

What:

Scores candidates against multiple weighted criteria, then ranks by total score to surface trade-offs and justify decisions.

When to use it:

Choosing between competing options where different stakeholders care about different factors and transparency matters.

Watch out:

Weights and scoring scales are subjective; small changes can flip rankings, masking that the real disagreement is about values.
