High-Stakes Decisions

Make better decisions — faster, together.

TransparentChoice helps you make key decisions more effectively as a team. Whether you're an engineer choosing between competing project solutions, a procurement lead picking a vendor, a PM deciding on site location, or Public Servant shaping policy, our structured, transparent approach helps you build alignment and confidence to produce a defensible, rational decision that you wont regret later.

High stakes decisions Concept

The Problem

When it’s time to make a critical decision, teams often struggle. Discussions go in circles leading to delays that drive up delivery risk. Strong personalities clash, or the loudest voice has an unconscious bias that nobody feels empowered to challenge. Or perhaps this is a lesson learned from last time: that a fudged compromise in planning diluted benefits or caused overspend.

The Solution

TransparentChoice brings clarity and confidence to pick-one decisions. We have built a solution based on AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). It's not rocket science, but that said, it was pioneered by NASA. For our clients it means a simple structured tool that enables people to collaborate. The result? Defensible decisions, made without the drama.

Where This Approach Delivers Value

Our approach supports a wide range of complex decisions — wherever you need to evaluate multiple options and make the right call with confidence.

Vendor or Partner Selection

Compare suppliers using consistent criteria — and make defensible choices, fast.

Solution Design

Your project has approved seed funding: now you have to come up with ways to deliver the results, and need to find the best option to take forward.

Location or Site Selection

Choose the best location by balancing cost, access, risk, and other factors — transparently.

Public Policy Decisions

When stakeholder alignment really matters, use structured collaboration to find the right trade offs. Ask the same questions to polarised groups to hone in on what really drives them apart, or scale up the survey to get some statistical significance in your feedback.

Operational Blueprint

If you manage a development team you’ll be making key ‘pick one’ decisions week in week out. Use AHP to make systematic selection part of your process.

Outcomes You Can Expect

The AHP method delivers clarity, defensibility, and better alignment — especially when decisions are tough, political, or high-stakes.

Reduce Scoping Risk

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) breaks complex decisions into smaller, solvable steps — reducing the risk of irreversible mistakes at the scoping stage.

Improve Decision Quality

Is your decision too important to undermine with bias, anchoring and the ‘loudest voice’ effect? Use collaborative surveys to collect and review data like a pro.

Defensible Choices

Do you worry that any choice is going to end up with you getting blamed? Use TransparentChoice to document your logic as objective and systematic.

Alignment to strategy

Use the project’s objectives to decide what matters most when making a trade off on different benefits from competing alternatives.

Scalable Operating Model

Get your teams to make better decisions by integrating AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) into their ways of working, with templates and operating processes built into the software for repeatable best practice.

Decisions You Can Act On

Skip the paralysis. Use your results to make and communicate your decision with confidence.
