Parvi enim primo ortu sic iacent, tamquam omnino sine animo sint. Audax negotium, dicerem impudens, nisi hoc institutum postea translatum ad philosophos nostros esset. Ut necesse sit omnium rerum, quae natura vigeant, similem esse finem, non eundem. Nihil opus est exemplis hoc facere longius. Quam illa ardentis amores excitaret sui! Cur tandem? Perturbationes autem nulla naturae vi commoventur, omniaque ea sunt opiniones ac iudicia levitatis. In his igitur partibus duabus nihil erat, quod Zeno commutare gestiret. Nemo igitur esse beatus potest.
Sic enim censent, oportunitatis esse beate vivere. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Qui autem esse poteris, nisi te amor ipse ceperit?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Effluit igitur voluptas corporis et prima quaeque avolat saepiusque relinquit causam paenitendi quam recordandi. Nihil acciderat ei, quod nollet, nisi quod anulum, quo delectabatur, in mari abiecerat. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Quicquid porro animo cernimus, id omne oritur a sensibus;
Nam memini etiam quae nolo, oblivisci non possum quae volo. Qui potest igitur habitare in beata vita summi mali metus? Expressa vero in iis aetatibus, quae iam confirmatae sunt. Hic nihil fuit, quod quaereremus. Quod cum accidisset ut alter alterum necopinato videremus, surrexit statim. Urgent tamen et nihil remittunt. Aliter enim nosmet ipsos nosse non possumus. Ut pulsi recurrant? Aliam vero vim voluptatis esse, aliam nihil dolendi, nisi valde pertinax fueris, concedas necesse est. Falli igitur possumus.
Istam voluptatem, inquit, Epicurus ignorat? Quid sequatur, quid repugnet, vident. Apud ceteros autem philosophos, qui quaesivit aliquid, tacet; Qui autem de summo bono dissentit de tota philosophiae ratione dissentit. Quod ea non occurrentia fingunt, vincunt Aristonem; Est, ut dicis, inquam.
The main problem with the Pugh Matrix is humanity. Our internal biases will still play out in the selection and weighting of criteria and assessing various options. That said, it does present a more accountable and systematic approach that might expose and interrupt such biases more than most alternatives.
Another challenge is that this process often results in no clear winners. That’s where we’d suggest considering combining selection criteria with the MOSCOW Method, particularly having ‘must have’ criteria, beyond weighting, as a clear qualification point.
Toasting bread.
The example below was developed by Dr Stuart Burge in his paper on The Systems Engineering ToolBox and uses the method to determine the best way to toast bread. The example selects a toaster as the baseline.

The Pugh Method was developed by Stuard Pugh, a UK-based product designer turned academic, whose 1991 book Total Design: Integrated Methods for Successful Product Engineering explored the methodology of design.
