Welcome to NOTYAB's ChoiceAnalyst!
The program is simple to use and its powers are awesome. Here are just a few:

• Obtain a group consensus using collaboration
• Allows the decision makers to be located anywhere
• Share decision models by email, WAN or LAN, or via IR
• Reports that reflect any bias or inconsistencies in responses
• Analyze dozens of choices based on dozens of criteria
• Besides just yourself, add dozens of other decision makers
• Apply different weightings to each criteria
• Apply different weightings to each decision maker
• A process for determining what assigned weights should be
• Reports for documenting the decision process was objective
• Runs under both Palm OS and Windows platforms
• And much more…

  We are all faced with making decisions like:

• Choosing between multiple products
• Conducting a staff performance review
• Picking which mutual funds or stocks to buy
• Deciding which job applicant to hire
• Determining the best marketing campaign
• Picking the best job offer to accept
• Analyzing Risk Management options
• Selecting features in a software project
• Deciding which college to attend

In more complex problems, there exists another factor that affects the outcome of a decision, and that is the number of people involved in making the decision. Left to a discussion in the absence of a structured process, one particular decision maker may affect the outcome of the decision simply by his or her ability to persuade others to make a particular choice, rather than their having considered all of the possibilities objectively.

With ChoiceAnalyst you can list each “Decision Maker” participating in the decision process. Since the various decision makers could bring different values to the particular problem being solved, you can also assign a “weighted” value to each of them. Here you type the names of the 3 managers and, based on their oversee experience of these employees you assign a weighted value to their judgments.

That's all it takes to define a decision model in ChoiceAnalyst. Could it be any easier?

NOTYAB's ChoiceAnalyst Pair Selection

Mentally sorting through a decision analyzing 5 choices compared by 7 criteria is an extremely daunting task. However, it is truly amazing how simple a large, complex problem can become when broken down to just picking the better of two choices.
ChoiceAnalyst provides a process where you only consider two employees and one criterion at a time, such as "who has better leadership ability, Barbara or Colin?"

On the sliding scale you simply identify whether Barbara's "Leadership Ability" is better or worse than Colin's, and by about how much. You would then be presented the next pair of employees to judge for this same criterion, and so forth.
After each Decision Maker has gone through the paired choices for each criterion, ChoiceAnalyst is then ready to analyze all the input and calculate the best choice. You merely select the "Evaluate" option and ChoiceAnalyst will factor all of the Decision Maker's input and present the results in ranking order.

Some of the areas explored through examples include:
Human Resources
Risk Management
Finance
Insurance
Investment Analysis
Marketing Campaigns
Publishing
Purchasing
Things to Do List
Analysis for Sports
Determining the weights for Criteria
