The issues faced when making a complex decision are complex. Managing these issues in an organized way, analyzing the decision and defending the decision require tools and techniques that insure that the decision is the right decision, that consensus is built within the project team and the decision can be presented in a way that is undisputable.

TGKConsulting has developed a decision support software product called ChoiceResults that supports the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) process for decision-making developed at the Wharton School of Business by Thomas Saaty (Saaty, Thomas L. 1980. The Analytic Hierarchy Process ) that models complex decisions in a way to show and analyze the relationships of the decision goal, objectives, criteria and alternatives.

RightChoiceDSS with it's graphical interface and group participation web-based interface make it easy to organize the decision goals, objectives, criteria and alternatives, weight the objectives and criteria using pair-wise comparisons, judge the alternatives against the criteria, analyze the results and document the decision.
