The following (edited) comments from the grader may be useful.

Ellen offered the following comments on decision matrices. I’d note that you were not required to use a decision matrix on this assignment and did not lose points if you did not use one. These comments are particularly useful for A6. [JEM]
- The following Wikipedia entry and article address why and how to develop such a numeric decision matrix.
"Decision-matrix method" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision-matrix_method) - "How to use a decision matrix to streamline your decision making process" (http://www.time-management-guide.com/decision-matrix.html)
