Weighted Pros & Cons
“Lay out two job offers against what actually matters to me.”
Franklin's moral algebra, including the half every other pros-and-cons app leaves out — the cancelling. And then the honest bit: exactly how little the weights would have to move for the answer to flip.
- Two columns, weights 1 to 5, and a running verdict with the margin
- Finds reasons that balance — one against one, or one against two — and strikes them out
- Tells you the smallest single change that reverses the decision
- Flags when one reason is carrying the whole verdict on its own
- Quotes the 1772 letter it comes from, and claims exactly what Franklin claimed
- This one is finished and tested — not on the build list
- It will be $9, same as every other tool
- One email when it goes up, no list, no spam
Three steps, then you're done
Then put reasons on both sides, over a few days if you can.
1 to 5. Nobody can tell you whether something is a 3 or a 4 — that's the point.
And read what's left, which is usually two or three things.
Questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. Each tool is a single file. Double-click it and it opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — whichever you already have. No account, no password, no software.
Does anything get uploaded?
No. Your numbers and files never leave your computer — the tools have no way to send them and no internet connection is needed to run them. You can switch your wi-fi off and they still work.
I'm not good with computers. Is this too hard?
The first thing every tool does is walk you through it in five short screens with pictures. Then there's a button that fills it with example numbers so you can watch it work before touching anything.
Will it work on my phone?
Yes. Email yourself the file and open the attachment, or drop the files in iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive and open them from there — then they're on every device you own.
