This user story provides a good start!

Here are areas that need to be addressed before it can be moved into Ready.

The user story itself is probably too generic to define an effective acceptance criterion. Based on the user story, the acceptance criteria need to show that the product "streamlines" the user's decision-making process. That requires there to be a metric for "streamlining".

Note that the acceptance criteria also need to match the actual user story without constraining the developers in how the product satisfies that user story.

The stated acceptance criteria are a collection of possible designs and implementations but are not the only such designs or implementations.

Consider rewriting the user story to have a more measurable objective.
