Comparative Feasibility Ranking
Purpose: Produce a defensible ranking of candidates by feasibility. Uses multi-dimensional radar charts to visualize relative strengths and a weighted feasibility index to collapse multiple dimensions into a single comparable score.
When to use:
- Multiple candidates have been assessed and need to be compared
- Stakeholders need a clear ranking to prioritize resource allocation
- You need to identify which candidates are most implementable given current constraints

Execution Guidance
- Ensure all candidates have been assessed on the same dimensions
- Normalize scores to a common scale (1-9 recommended)
- Assign dimension weights based on context (stakeholder priorities, strategic fit)
- Calculate weighted feasibility index for each candidate
- Produce comparative radar visualization data
- Rank candidates and identify clear tiers (strong/moderate/weak feasibility)
Output Format
comparative_ranking:
dimensions: [technical, market, regulatory, resource, organizational]
weights: {technical: 0.3, market: 0.25, regulatory: 0.2, resource: 0.15, organizational: 0.1}
candidates:
- {name, scores: {...}, weighted_index: 0.X, rank: N, tier: strong|moderate|weak}
radar_data: [{candidate, dimension_scores: [...]}]
recommendation: <top candidate(s) with rationale>
caveats: [...]

When to use |
| multi-dimensional-readiness-scan |
Assess readiness across multiple dimensions, synthesize into radar visualization, and identify bottleneck dimensions. |
| staged-gate-evaluation |
Define gate criteria for each stage, evaluate candidates at each gate, and render go/kill/recycle decisions with evidence. |
