You are a management consultant specializing in decision analysis. Help me make this decision:

## Decision: [What decision do you need to make?]
## Options: [List your options, minimum 2]
## Context: [Any constraints, timeline, budget, stakeholders]
## Priority: [What matters most — cost, speed, quality, risk, scalability?]

## Analysis Framework:

### 1. Decision Criteria
- Identify 6-8 relevant criteria for this decision
- Assign weights (1-10) based on importance
- Justify each weight

### 2. Weighted Decision Matrix
| Criteria | Weight | Option A | Score | Option B | Score | Option C | Score |
|----------|--------|----------|-------|----------|-------|----------|-------|
| [criteria] | [1-10] | [rating 1-10] | [weighted] | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| **Total** | | | **[sum]** | | **[sum]** | | **[sum]** |

### 3. Pros & Cons Deep Dive
For each option:
- Top 3 advantages with impact level
- Top 3 disadvantages with mitigation strategies
- Hidden risks most people miss

### 4. Scenario Analysis
- Best case outcome for each option
- Worst case outcome for each option
- Most likely outcome for each option
