Worked example
What it makes
The starting criteria for a note-taking app 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search that finds things (5) | 5/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Sharing and collaboration (4) | 3/5 | 5/5 | 4/5 |
| Works on all our devices (4) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Organisation (folders, tags, links) (3) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Export if we ever leave (3) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Cost per user (3) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Offline access (2) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 3/5 |
| Weighted score | 75.8/100 | 71.7/100 | 68.3/100 |
Weighted score = sum of (weight × score) ÷ sum of (weight × 5), out of 100.

Questions
About the Note-Taking App 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.
Can I use it for personal notes apps?
Yes. Drop the sharing criteria and weight what matters to you, such as offline access.
