Define decision makers, criteria, sub-criteria, failure modes, and alternative solutions.
Solution Selection Tool
Evaluate and Select the Optimal Hydrogen Solution
Use a guided multi-criteria decision process to compare hydrogen technologies, suppliers, partners, or project options across stakeholder priorities, technical risks, and performance evidence.
This tool includes a paper-based reference case for selecting a hydrogen storage method for lightweight vehicles. You can load the reference case to understand the workflow, then reset or customise the criteria, decision makers, and alternative solutions for your own project.

How To Use
Work Through the Assessment in Order
Start by building the decision hierarchy. The criteria weights are then determined in two parts before risk assessment, alternative solution scoring, and final ranking.
Complete the staged Kano questionnaire and convert quality attribute responses into criteria satisfaction weights.
Use pairwise comparisons to calculate criteria importance weights and consolidated sub-criteria weights.
Define risk rating scales, identify failure modes, and score severity, likelihood, and detectability.
Categorise criteria types, score each alternative solution, and compare performance across decision makers.
Review the final ranking, weighted decision hierarchy, key drivers, and report-ready interpretation.
