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.

From each vendor's own pricing and feature pages. An AI researcher reads the pages and quotes the sentence each fact comes from; a fact is shown only if that quote is on the linked page.
