Worked example
What it makes
The starting criteria for a automation platform comparison, with example scores for three unnamed options to show how the weighting works. Your Room uses your own options and scores.
| Criterion (weight) | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connectors for our apps (5) | 5/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Cost at our task volume (4) | 3/5 | 5/5 | 4/5 |
| Ease of building workflows (4) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Error handling and monitoring (3) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Self-hosting or data residency (2) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Security and admin controls (3) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Weighted score | 75.2/100 | 73.3/100 | 68.6/100 |
Weighted score = sum of (weight × score) ÷ sum of (weight × 5), out of 100.

Questions
About the Automation Tool Comparison
Does WZRD rate these products?
No. You score each option on your own criteria; WZRD only does the weighted maths and lays out the result. Check prices and features on each vendor's own site, because they change often.
Is Zapier vs Make vs n8n included?
They're in the starting list, alongside Power Automate and Workato. You score them; WZRD doesn't rate them.
