The Decision making software Super Decisions helps by using the analytical Hierarchy and Network Process developed by Thomas Saaty (Saaty, 2003). This process allows individuals to create a goal and possible solutions and lace a scale of importance on each option. (Saaty, 2003) This process helps individuals to understand that their biased nature is still playing a part in the decision software; it is just allowing individuals to see what is more important based on a numbers scale.

The decision making software has good points. (Plous, 1993) The process is very detailed and will help people who are having a hard time making a decision about goals that produce gains and loses. The individual that enjoys this process can also implement this process in there company by using the corporate software for group decision making. (www.creativedecisions.net)

This software does not eliminate framing. Framing is a difficult thing to eliminate and this software and process has not eliminated the framing process.

This software is very useful for decisions that people want a similar outcome on, but can not choose the “right” (right in being the one that produces the most desirable outcome) one. References:
