Qui enim existimabit posse se miserum esse beatus non erit. Sunt enim prima elementa naturae, quibus auctis vírtutis quasi germen efficitur. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Scrupulum, inquam, abeunti; Ea possunt paria non esse. Primum in nostrane potestate est, quid meminerimus? Ita enim vivunt quidam, ut eorum vita refellatur oratio.
Ex ea difficultate illae fallaciloquae, ut ait Accius, malitiae natae sunt. At, si voluptas esset bonum, desideraret. Tamen aberramus a proposito, et, ne longius, prorsus, inquam, Piso, si ista mala sunt, placet. Quae diligentissime contra Aristonem dicuntur a Chryippo. Ita redarguitur ipse a sese, convincunturque scripta eius probitate ipsius ac moribus. Contemnit enim disserendi elegantiam, confuse loquitur. Si stante, hoc natura videlicet vult, salvam esse se, quod concedimus; Itaque primos congressus copulationesque et consuetudinum instituendarum voluntates fieri propter voluptatem; Tamen aberramus a proposito, et, ne longius, prorsus, inquam, Piso, si ista mala sunt, placet. Quoniam, si dis placet, ab Epicuro loqui discimus.
Qualem igitur hominem natura inchoavit? Dici enim nihil potest verius. Habent enim et bene longam et satis litigiosam disputationem. His singulis copiose responderi solet, sed quae perspicua sunt longa esse non debent. Itaque contra est, ac dicitis; Est tamen ea secundum naturam multoque nos ad se expetendam magis hortatur quam superiora omnia. Poterat autem inpune; Incommoda autem et commoda-ita enim estmata et dustmata appello-communia esse voluerunt, paria noluerunt. Deinde disputat, quod cuiusque generis animantium statui deceat extremum. Hoc mihi cum tuo fratre convenit. Quorum altera prosunt, nocent altera. Quo plebiscito decreta a senatu est consuli quaestio Cn.

Certe non potest. Vitae autem degendae ratio maxime quidem illis placuit quieta. Audeo dicere, inquit. Hoc non est positum in nostra actione. Alterum significari idem, ut si diceretur, officia media omnia aut pleraque servantem vivere. Peccata paria.
Iam contemni non poteris. Et quidem saepe quaerimus verbum Latinum par Graeco et quod idem valeat; Falli igitur possumus. Itaque hic ipse iam pridem est reiectus; Quae cum magnifice primo dici viderentur, considerata minus probabantur. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Suo enim quisque studio maxime ducitur. Ad quorum et cognitionem et usum iam corroborati natura ipsa praeeunte deducimur. Perturbationes autem nulla naturae vi commoventur, omniaque ea sunt opiniones ac iudicia levitatis. Nonne igitur tibi videntur, inquit, mala? Ut id aliis narrare gestiant?
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.
