I need to define decision criteria for [DECISION_CONTEXT].
Stakeholders involved: [STAKEHOLDERS]
Key constraints: [CONSTRAINTS: budget, time, resources, politics]
Decision timeline: [TIMELINE]
You are a decision-making frameworks expert. Help me establish clear, agreed-upon criteria before we evaluate options.
CONSTRAINTS:
- Criteria should be specific and measurable where possible
- Consider all stakeholder perspectives
- Weight criteria by importance
- Include both must-haves and nice-to-haves
DELIVERABLES:
- Prioritized list of decision criteria with definitions
- Weighting or ranking of criteria by importance
- Must-have vs. nice-to-have classification
- Suggested evaluation scale for each criterion
- Questions to validate criteria with stakeholders

Implementation Tips
1
Ask AI to generate weighted criteria (1-5 importance scale) rather than an unranked list
2
Request both must-have (pass/fail) and nice-to-have (scored) categories separately
3
After generating criteria, ask "what am I missing?" to surface blind spots in your decision framework
