would like to develop a very simple web-based application that helps people make business decisions.
This simple app lets the user:
1. Fill out a form to define the decision you need to make (-ex- which developer should I hire?)
2. Fill out a form to define the options (-ex- Rachel, Sridhar, Bobby, or Subbu)
3. Fill out a form to enter the decision factors, and a weight for each. -ex-
a) speed of implementation (weight of 10: most important)
b) affordable cost (weight of 10: most important)
c) star rating (weight of 9: very important)
d) amount of detail in job application response (weight of 8: important)
e) # of oDesk hours (weight of 7: relevant)
4. Allows the user to rank each of the options, by filling out a form (Rachel, Sridhar, Bobby, and Subbu) against the decision factors
5. Shows a results table with:
- The decision being made as the header
- Each option (Rachel, Sridhar, Bobby, Subbu)
- The calculated # of points for each (decision factor1 * weight1 + decision factorX * weight X)
- Sorted by most points.
The result is a logical answer to the question the user had: which option should I choose?
Please let me know how you would implement, how long it should take, and what questions you have.
Thanks.
