Decision Criteria Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

Utilize this versatile decision criteria template to present your evaluation factors and compare multiple options with clarity and impact. The first slide features a radial diagram with eight labeled criteria—Cost Analysis, Timeframe, Risk Assessment, Resource Availability, ROI Evaluation, Market Impact, Scalability, and Feasibility—arranged around a central icon to highlight interconnected decision drivers. Color-coded accents and iconography ensure each criterion stands out, while editable shapes, text placeholders, and master slides allow you to adjust labels, swap icons, or customize color palettes in seconds. The second slide offers a structured comparison matrix with weighted criteria, score columns, and color-coded totals, enabling straightforward side-by-side analysis of venues or companies. A legend section decodes performance tiers—Ideal, Above Average, Acceptable, and Below Acceptable—so stakeholders can instantly grasp scoring outcomes and prioritize choices.

Designed for both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template maintains crisp resolution across devices, eliminating formatting issues and version control headaches. Whether you’re leading a project kickoff, stakeholder review, or strategic workshop, the combined radial and matrix layouts streamline discussions around prioritization, resource allocation, and risk mitigation. The clean white background, subtle shadows, and modern typography deliver a professional aesthetic that aligns with corporate branding, consulting deliverables, or startup pitch decks.

Beyond decision criteria, adapt this template to roadmap prioritization, vendor selection processes, or balanced scorecard presentations. Use the radial slide to map stakeholder inputs, risk factors, or performance metrics, and leverage the matrix to compare product features, service providers, or project alternatives—making this flexible template an essential tool for data-driven decision making. With built-in dark versions, you can tailor the mood and contrast to suit any presentation environment—from boardrooms to virtual webinars—ensuring readability and audience engagement.
