Custom Decision Builder – Your Options, Your Method

Set up a decision your way: name it, add your options with weights and scores, then choose how the winner gets picked — a fair random draw, weighted chance, or the highest score.

Custom Decision Builder

Name your decision, add your options with a weight (how much you lean towards each) and a score (how good each honestly is), then pick the method. The example is filled in — replace it with your own. Your setup auto-saves to this browser.

What are you deciding?

Your options

How should the winner be picked?

Pure RandomEqual chance for every option. Weights and scores ignored. Weighted RandomChance follows your weights — leanings become odds. Highest ScoreThe top score wins. Ties are called out, with a fair tiebreak.

Three ways to decide — and when each one is honest

Pure Random gives every option the same chance and ignores your weights and scores entirely. That sounds like giving up, but it is the honest method when you have already thought everything through and the remaining options are genuinely equal — it breaks the deadlock without pretending one is better.

Weighted Random turns your leanings into odds: an option’s chance is its weight divided by the total weight, calculated and shown next to every option before you draw. Your favourite gets the best chance, not a guarantee — which is often exactly the nudge a stuck decision needs. Highest Score removes chance from the pick: the option with the top score wins, and if the top is tied the tool says so and offers a fair random tiebreak between the tied options only.

Weights are leanings; scores are judgements

A weight answers “how much am I drawn to this?” and only matters to Weighted Random. A score answers “how good is this, honestly?” and only matters to Highest Score. Keeping the two separate is the point: an option can be the one you want (high weight) without being the one you rate best (high score), and seeing both numbers side by side is often the moment the real decision becomes obvious.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between weight and score?

Weight drives Weighted Random: it sets each option’s chance of being drawn. Score drives Highest Score: the biggest score wins. Pure Random ignores both. Set either or both — each method only reads its own numbers.

How is the weighted chance worked out?

Chance = the option’s weight ÷ the total of all weights, as a percentage. Three options weighted 2, 3 and 5 have chances of 20%, 30% and 50%. The percentages are shown next to the options and update as you type.

Can I save a decision to reuse it?

Yes. Save as template stores the whole setup — title, options, weights, scores and method — in this browser, ready to load next time. Finished decisions are also copied into Your recent decisions below. Nothing leaves your device, and there is no account.

Can I share or print the result?

Yes. Every result offers Copy summary (a plain-text summary you can paste anywhere) and Print summary (a clean one-page printout of the decision, method, options and result).
