Worked example
What it makes
The starting criteria for a team chat 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fits the tools we already use (5) | 5/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Easy for the whole company (4) | 3/5 | 5/5 | 4/5 |
| Total cost for our team size (4) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Admin, security and retention (4) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Apps and integrations (3) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Guest access for clients and partners (3) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Search and message history (3) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 3/5 |
| Weighted score | 75.4/100 | 71.5/100 | 66.9/100 |
Weighted score = sum of (weight × score) ÷ sum of (weight × 5), out of 100.

Questions
About the Team Chat 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 the whole team vote?
Yes. Share the Room and everyone can see the scores and vote on which app they'd pick.
