The more alternatives you're considering and the more objectives you're pursuing, the more tradeoffs you'll need to make. #2 To make decision making easier, try to eliminate dominated alternatives. If alternative A is better than alternative B on some objectives and no worse than B on all other objectives, B can be eliminated from consideration. #3 The process of determining dominance is useful for making tradeoffs.
It allows you to eliminate dominated alternatives, which saves you a lot of time. It is also useful for deciding which alternative is your best choice when all your alternatives are dominated. #4 The even swap method is a technique that allows you to simplify a complex decision into a simpler one.
