A 17-criterion weighted model that ranks fifteen U.S.–Saudi product categories — turning opinion into a comparable, defensible decision. Working draft v0.1; scores marked for verification.
Each category was scored 1–10 on seventeen criteria, then weighted (weights sum to 1.00). Risk criteria measure safety — 10 = lowest risk. The weighted score drives the rank and the funnel decision.
Every raw 1–10 score behind the ranking. Scroll horizontally to see all criteria. Header shows each criterion's weight.
Key: all criteria 1–10 where 10 = most favorable. Risk criteria (Legal/Import, Return/Refund) measure safety: 10 = lowest risk. Status reflects Phase 5: Top 7 advanced; "Cut" removed in Phase 5; "Removed" dropped in Phase 4. Final 5 and winner are not chosen yet. Working draft v0.1 — needs verification.
