1 month ago This appears to be a useful "epic" level story or "vision statement" for the product.
Please modify the title of this issue so that it captures the essence of this particular user story.
The acceptance criteria are sometimes too relaxed: • "The system must allow users to define at least two decision alternatives." (Note that if the product allows only 2 alternatives, it still meets this criterion.)
The acceptance criteria are sometimes too arbitrary: • "Users must be able to define at least three decision criteria" (Why is three the magic number?)
For clarification, what is the difference between "the assigned weights" and "input"? Why aren't the assigned weights part of the input?

User Story
As a decision maker, I want to input various decision outcomes and criteria with assigned importance so that the system can recommend the optimal decision based on my preferences.
Story
Who: As a decision maker What: I want to input various decision outcomes and criteria with assigned importance Why: So that the system can recommend the optimal decision based on my preferences
Acceptance Criteria
Choose either rules or scenarios and ensure they are verifiable from the perspective of the stakeholder
Rules
Scenario 1
Given the user has defined at least two decision outcomes and three criteria with assigned weights when the user inputs the decision alternatives and assigns weights to the criteria then the system must display a ranked list of decision outcomes and recommend the optimal choice based on the input.
Supporting Information
The application will use a weighted decision matrix or an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model to generate recommendations. Psychometric scales like AHP should be used to capture user preferences, and these scales must influence the recommendation based on weights assigned to decision criteria.
Dependencies
Depends On
Input form for defining decision alternatives and assigning weights to criteria. Decision-making algorithm implementation (weighted matrix, AHP).
Dependents
The visual display and ranking output interface that presents the final decision and ranked alternatives.
