The matrix (spreadsheet) used by the team to aid in the
process of deciding the best design from among the design alternatives
needs to show:
all the goals from the Design Concerns Table are evaluated
a raw score scale is established for each goal
appropriate values are used in the raw score scales
the designs can be differentiated
the increments are of equal value
weighting is applied to each goal
there is justification provided for each weighting
the best design is identified (briefly summarize why
this design stands above the other design alternative(s), thoughts on incorporating any design features from the other design alternative(s), and address any
areas of concern regarding this design)
