Full Name:: Pugh Decision Matrix (also Pugh Controlled Convergence)

*Core Concepts*:

11-
Baseline comparison:: Compare alternatives against a reference solution
12-
13-
Criteria weighting:: Assign importance to evaluation criteria
14-

Relative scoring:: Better (+), Same (S), Worse (-) than baseline

== *Core Concepts*:

10+
Matrix layout:: Criteria as ROWS, alternatives as COLUMNS
11+
Reference (baseline):: One alternative is designated as reference — scored entirely as 0/S
12+
Relative scoring:: Each alternative rated against the reference: Better (+), Same (S), Worse (−)
13+
Summary rows:: Σ(+), Σ(−), Σ(S), and Net Score per alternative at bottom of matrix
1714
Structured evaluation:: Systematic comparison across multiple dimensions
18-
19-
Iterative refinement:: Multiple rounds to converge on best solution
20-
2115
Team decision-making:: Facilitates group consensus
22-
2316
Hybrid solutions:: Combine strengths of different alternatives
17+
Iterative refinement:: Multiple rounds to converge on best solution

Key Proponent:: Stuart Pugh ("Total Design", 1991)

Key Proponent:: Stuart Pugh
23+
Unweighted 3-Point Pugh Matrix:: Original form. Default when no qualifier is given.
24+
Weighted 3-Point Pugh Matrix:: Criteria carry importance weights. Standard in Six Sigma / QFD contexts.
25+
Weighted 5-Point Pugh Matrix:: Finer granularity for closely ranked alternatives.
26+
Pugh Controlled Convergence:: Iterative multi-round process with elimination, hybrid creation, and reference rotation.
