Our Essential Priorities Scorecard helps you make confident decisions by quantifying what matters most. Cut through the noise and focus on what deserves your attention.
At EssentialGaze, we understand that modern life presents endless choices and competing priorities. Our Essential Priorities Scorecard is based on the proven weighted decision matrix method used by executives, psychologists, and life coaches to bring clarity to complex decisions.
Whether you're choosing between job offers, deciding where to live, evaluating business opportunities, or simply trying to prioritize your daily tasks, our tool helps you quantify subjective factors so you can compare options objectively. The process of defining and weighting your criteria often reveals insights more valuable than the final scores themselves.
Unlike generic decision-making frameworks, our scorecard adapts to your unique situation. You define what matters most, assign appropriate weights, and score each option accordingly. The result? A clear visual representation of which choice best aligns with your essential priorities - not someone else's definition of what should matter.
Stop wasting mental energy going in circles. Our structured approach helps you organize thoughts and compare options systematically.
Quantify both rational factors (salary, cost) and emotional ones (happiness, fulfillment) to find the right balance for you.
Visualizing your priorities often reveals surprising insights about what you truly value most.
Prevent expensive wrong turns in business and life by making choices aligned with your essential priorities.
Great for group decisions - helps reconcile different perspectives by making priorities explicit.
Save and revisit scorecards to see how your priorities change over time - valuable personal insight.
Start by clearly naming the decision you're facing. This focuses your thinking and helps identify relevant criteria. Examples: "Choosing a college," "Buying a home," or "Career path decision."
List all factors that matter in your decision. Include both tangible (cost, time) and intangible (happiness, growth) factors. Assign each a weight from 1-10 based on importance. Don't overthink - you can adjust later.
List all options you're considering. Then score each one against your criteria (1-10). Be honest - this isn't about forcing a particular outcome but revealing what truly aligns best with your priorities.
Review the weighted scores and breakdown. Notice which options score highest on your most important criteria. The numbers might confirm your gut feeling or reveal surprises worth exploring.
"I was torn between two job offers - one paid more, the other seemed more fulfilling. The scorecard revealed how much I valued work-life balance over salary. A year later, I know I made the right choice!"
"As a startup founder, I used the scorecard to evaluate three potential product directions. Seeing the numbers helped our team align and confidently pursue what became our most successful product line."
"Deciding where to live after retirement felt overwhelming. The scorecard helped us weigh climate, cost, healthcare, and proximity to family objectively. We're thrilled with our choice in a place we might have overlooked otherwise."
Our tool incorporates insights from behavioral science to counteract common decision-making pitfalls like recency bias, anchoring, and analysis paralysis. The structure guides you toward more rational choices.
Whether you're data-driven or intuitive, our flexible approach works for you. Start with quick scores then refine, or dive deep into precise weights - whatever matches your natural decision process.
We don't just provide a tool - we offer resources to improve your decision-making skills over time. From tutorial videos to case studies, we help you build lasting judgment capabilities.
