Questions
How do weights work?
An option ending in *3 gets three shares, and an option with no number gets one. With "Pizza *2", "Tacos", and "Sushi", pizza has a 50% chance and the others 25% each. The list shows every option's chance before you decide.
How does pros and cons decide?
Each reason counts 1, or the number after its star, up to 10. If one side's total is clearly higher, that's the answer. If they're within a tenth of each other, it says it's too close to call.
When should I use which?
Use Pick for me when every option is fine and you just need to choose, like where to eat. Use pros and cons for one bigger yes-or-no choice, where the reasons matter.
