When two or more engineering options compete on cost, performance, reliability, or sustainability, lay out the tradeoffs before committing. Compare designs against your requirements, build a weighted decision table, and test how the ranking changes when priorities or assumptions shift. You leave with a reasoned recommendation, the key compromises, and the questions your team still needs to resolve.

What it writes
- Weighted engineering decision table
- Option comparison with key compromises
- Recommendation and open questions
How to use it
Include the options, non-negotiable requirements, and any figures you have for cost, performance, or service life. Say which criteria matter most and how you want them weighted.
What you bring
- Options you are comparing
- Requirements and project constraints
- Cost, performance, or reliability figures
- At least two viable options
A good fit for
- Choosing between two pump designs with different efficiency and upfront costs
- Selecting materials when weight, durability, and budget conflict
- Comparing supplier options against a fixed performance requirement
Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
Compare aluminum and stainless steel for a 2 kg outdoor enclosure; corrosion resistance matters most, but the unit cost must stay under $40.
We need a pump delivering 60 L/min at 4 bar. Option A costs $1,800 and uses 1.5 kW; Option B costs $2,300 and uses 1.1 kW. Compare them over five years at $0.15 per kWh.
Help me rank these battery options for a delivery drone: 400 Wh/kg at $180/kg, 320 Wh/kg at $120/kg, and 350 Wh/kg at $150/kg. Flight time and safety matter most.
