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.

Screen Alternative Solutions Quickly
Lite Mode uses the shared decision hierarchy, calculates criteria importance weights, and applies those weights directly when scoring alternative solutions.
Build Decision Hierarchy
Define decision makers, criteria, sub-criteria, and alternative solutions once before choosing the streamlined workflow.
Determine Criteria Weights
Use pairwise comparisons to calculate main and sub-criteria importance weights.
Score Alternative Solutions
Categorise criteria types, score each alternative solution, and compare performance across decision makers.
Results
Review the final ranking and weighted decision hierarchy using criteria importance weights.
Pro Mode
Work Through the Full 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.
Build Decision Hierarchy
Define decision makers, criteria, sub-criteria, and alternative solutions.
Satisfaction Weights
Complete the staged Kano questionnaire and convert quality attribute responses into criteria satisfaction weights.
Importance & Consolidated Weights
Use pairwise comparisons to calculate criteria importance weights and consolidated sub-criteria weights.
Risk Assessment
Define risk rating scales, set failure-mode counts, identify failure modes, and score severity, likelihood, and detectability.
Score Alternative Solutions
Categorise criteria types, score each alternative solution, and compare performance across decision makers.
Results
Review the final ranking, weighted decision hierarchy, key drivers, and report-ready interpretation.
