📋 Instructions – How to use this benchmark template

This template helps you compare different options in a clear and structured way.

It’s fully customizable, so you can adapt it to whatever you're benchmarking: houses, jobs, vacations, products, projects, etc.

🛠️ Step 1: Fill in your options

• Add each option (house, job, destination, etc.) as a new line in the database.
• Fill out the criteria scores based on your evaluation (for example: Price, Safety, Layout, Budget, Advantages, etc.).
• Optionally, add Pros, Cons, Links, or Notes to give more context.

➕ Bonus points / ➖ Malus points

• Use Bonus Points to reward an option for exceptional features (e.g. “amazing view,” “extra benefits,” “perfect location”).
• Use Malus Points to penalize an option for significant flaws (e.g. “bad transport access,” “very expensive fees,” “safety concerns”).

📊 Building a good overall score

The Overall Score helps you quickly spot the best options — it’s automatically calculated using a weighted average formula.

In the default setup:

• Criteria 1 is the top priority (weight 1.5×)
• Criteria 2 is slightly more important (1.25×)
• Criteria 3 is neutral
• Bonus and Malus points are also neutral
