19	⓶	Decision: What decision are you trying to make?
20	⓷	Considerations: In the first row, fill in the Considerations that influence your decision. They should be as independent of each other as possible. Ok to leave some blank. These work best when they are as emotionally clear and transparent as possible.
21	⓸	Importance: In the second row, fill in the relative importance of each Consideration where 10 is most important, 0 is totally unimportant. It often helps to pick the most important consideration and assign it a 10. From there, you can scale the other considerations.
22	⓹	Choices: In the first column, fill in the choices between which you are trying to decide. Ok to leave some blank.
23	⓺	Ratings: In each row for each choice, rate each of your choices looking at each Consideration in turn. Only look at one Consideration at a time. Forget that any other Considerations exist and pretend you are trying to make a decision based on only that one factor. Again, it often helps to pick the choice that maximizes that consideration and assign it a 10 and scale the others from there.
24	⓻	Ranking: In the Rank column, the ranking for your choices will be shown.
25	⓼	Fudge: Fudge the numbers to get the result you wanted all along.
