What’s a good decision-making method when you have many criteria and sub-criteria?
If I’m working with around six main criteria, each broken down into several sub-criteria, what decision-making method works best without getting messy?

Thank you, that’s really helpful! I like that AHP allows step-by-step comparisons—it seems easier to manage than trying to weigh everything all at once.

Another approach you might consider is the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). It works well when you can define ideal and anti-ideal solutions for each criterion. TOPSIS ranks alternatives based on their distance to these reference points, which makes it intuitive when you want a clear “best option” among many. It’s particularly useful if your criteria are measurable and you want a fast computational method.
