Team Decision Weighted Score Calculator

Calculate a weighted score for one option using two criteria. Enter each criterion's weight as a whole-number percentage from 0 to 100 and its option score from 0 to 100 points. The result is the sum of score-times-weight products, reported in weighted points. Weights are applied as entered, without dividing by 100, so the result is a weighted-points total rather than a normalized score. Use this two-criterion model to compare options consistently, entering the same criteria and weights for each option.
