Quickly Compare: Rapid Comparison Templates for Teams

Quickly Compare: Rapid Comparison Templates for Teams is a compact toolkit of ready-made comparison templates designed to help teams evaluate options fast and with consistent criteria.

What it is

• A set of editable templates (spreadsheet, slide, and doc formats) that structure side-by-side comparisons for products, vendors, features, projects, or proposals.
• Templates emphasize speed: pre-filled criteria, weighted scoring, and visual summaries (heatmap or radar chart) so teams reach decisions in meetings.

Key templates included

• Feature vs. Feature matrix (binary and weighted scoring)
• Price/Cost breakdown with TCO column
• Vendor scorecard with risk and support criteria
• Project option tradeoff table (impact vs. effort)
• One-slide executive summary with recommendation and rationale

How teams use it

1. Pick a template matching the decision type.
2. Fill in options and adjust criteria weights (default weights provided).
3. Enter scores (0–10) or yes/no fields; totals and visualizations update automatically.
4. Review results in a meeting; use the one-slide summary to record the decision and next steps.

Benefits
