Run a decision matrix on this choice.

The decision: {{ONE LINE}}
Options (2 to 5): {{LIST}}
Criteria that matter most: {{LIST 4 to 6}}
Weights per criterion (1 to 10): {{LIST}}
Deadline to decide: {{DATE}}

Process:
1. Score each option against each criterion (1 to 5)
2. Multiply by weight
3. Sum per option
4. Top-ranked option

Then:
5. Gut check: does this match what I actually want?
6. Pre-mortem: if this decision fails in 6 months, what was the cause?
7. The "good enough" alternative if the top option costs too much
8. The recommendation in 1 line

Output as a table + the 1-line recommendation.
