Decentralize decisions. Keep the context.

Don't let leaders become the bottleneck. Empower your team to make fast, structured choices while building an immutable record of your assumptions so you'll always know the "why" 12 months down the road.

Weighted Decision Matrix

Define custom criteria and assign weights based on priority. Best for complex, multi-variable evaluations like vendor selection.

RICE Scoring Model

Evaluate based on Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort. The industry standard for product feature prioritization.

Frameworks that adapt to your workflow

Not every decision needs the same approach. Whether you're evaluating a multi-million dollar vendor contract or deciding which product feature to build next, Axiom provides the right analytical framework for the job.

  • Standardized Methodology: Stop reinventing the wheel for every decision.
  • Eliminate Bias: Start with the criteria, not the conclusion.

Codify your team's experience.

Create clarity with explicit criteria and math that everyone can understand and agree on. Turn subjective "gut feelings" into objective data points.

  • Multiple score ranges supported including 1-100, and 1-5
  • Support for dozens of criteria per Decision
  • All criteria are not equal balance priorities with weights

Ruthless Elimination

Don't waste time debating options that physically cannot meet your baseline requirements. Set binary (Pass/Fail) elimination criteria to immediately disqualify unviable candidates from the scoring matrix.

  • Enforce mandatory compliance standards (e.g., SOC2, GDPR)
  • Disqualify options outside maximum budget caps
  • Remove options that don't meet minimum requirements

AI proposes. Humans decide.

Connect external agents like Claude Desktop directly into Axiom via MCP. Let AI do the heavy lifting: researching vendors, extracting data from proposals, and suggesting scores against your criteria.

But AI never makes the final call. Every AI-generated score requires an explicit human-in-the-loop approval, creating a secure, completely auditable timeline that separates human judgment from AI automation.

  • Eliminate hours of manual data entry and reading
  • Enforced human approvals for AI-generated scores
  • Clear attribution on the audit trail

Clear ownership with DACI roles.

Stop wondering who actually owns the decision. Assign explicit roles Driver, Approver, Contributor, and Informed. Axiom enforces these roles, ensuring Contributors can suggest scores while only Approvers can merge them into the final matrix.

  • Enterprise-ready DACI / RACI enforcement
  • Prevent rogue edits to critical decision metrics
  • Streamline approvals with explicit ownership

End the 4-hour alignment meetings

Team members can asynchronously propose alternative weights and scores, complete with comments and justifications. Project owners can review these suggestions in isolation and mathematically merge them into the master matrix with a single click.

  • Asynchronous, non-destructive scoring workflows
  • Threaded justifications for radical changes
  • 1-click merge for approved suggestions

Immutable Traceability

When a new VP asks why a specific database, vendor, or candidate was chosen two years ago, you shouldn't have to decipher a 300-comment Slack thread. The project timeline acts as an enterprise-grade Architectural Decision Record (ADR), tracking the exact timestamp and user ID for every mutation.

  • Perfect compliance and audit-ready records
  • Auto-generated Architectural Decision Records (ADRs)
  • Granular time-stamping on all actions taken in a decision

Start in seconds. Never stare at a blank page.

Don't know which criteria to use? Just describe your decision in natural language. Axiom's AI instantly scaffolds a bespoke evaluation matrix, complete with weighted criteria and elimination requirements tailored to your specific problem.

  • 5 minutes from prompt to a decision-ready matrix
  • Best practice criteria generated automatically
  • Fully editable structure tweak it until it's perfect
