Description
A professional decision modeling tool for the iPhone & iPod touch (note: requires OS 3.0)
Based on the advanced decision making methodology of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), iDecide Lite is a decision modeling application that can be used to:
1. Select the best choice from among a number of alternatives
2. Prioritize multiple alternatives from a prioritized decision criteria
3. Evaluate Yes/No types of decisions
The decision criteria (or objectives) are entered and prioritized using a comparative analysis method called pair-wise comparison. Each alternative is then ranked against the weighted decision criteria using one of a number of custom ratings. iDecide Lite prioritizes the alternatives and identifies a winner, i.e. that alternative that best meets the decision criteria/objectives.
A measure of consistency is provided to inform the user how inconsistent they have been and where the inconsistencies are.
Helpful overview and tutorial screencasts are available at: http://www.fastworks.us/fastworks/iDecide.html
