· The decision matrix (DECMAT) is not part of the decision briefing format.<br />
· Have your DECMAT handy, but don’t include as part of briefing. Use it as a backup slide. You<br />
may create your own matrix or use the computer-generated matrix.<br />
· Give matrix a short title related to your problem.<br />
· Identify the matrix as either a “relative value” or “multiplication” matrix, as appropriate.<br />
· Label the matrix with “less is better” as used in DECMAT.<br />
· Label the COAs and criteria with the same short titles you defined earlier in the briefing.<br />
· Note that the DECMAT is a comparative tool. In rare instances where a particular COA exceeds<br />
more benchmarks than the other COAs, the DECMAT results may differ from the conclusion you<br />
reach through analysis. You must decide whether you should recommend on the basis of analysis<br />
or comparison.<br />
