How Stage-Gate Process (Cooper) Works in SolveRight

When you run a decision through SolveRight, Stage-Gate Process (Cooper) is one of up to 155 frameworks that analyze your options simultaneously. The AI extractor identifies 5 key data points from your decision description, then the weighted-sum rubric computes a normalized 0-100 score for each option. This score is combined with results from other frameworks to produce your overall ranking, with contradiction detection highlighting where Stage-Gate Process (Cooper)disagrees with other methodologies.
