In the contemporary day, individuals find themselves confronted with the predicament of information overload [1], and information fragmentation [11], as they are inundated by a vast amount of information. The task of achieving equilibrium among all facets of one's daily existence, including professional obligations, familial responsibilities, and individual pursuits, has emerged as a demanding undertaking. The process of making decisions on important things has become increasingly challenging, and the potential for making incorrect choices might result in severe outcomes.

At now, the software offerings within the application market pertaining to the decision-making process primarily comprise of random selection tools that aim to facilitate customers in expeditiously creating uncomplicated decisions. Hence, a compelling requirement exists for Decision-making Software that assists users in effectively navigating intricate decision scenarios including multiple elements. This program has the potential to be a great asset in contemporary society, as individuals are confronted with an overwhelming amount of information and complex decision-making tasks.

During the preliminary stage of this research, a user survey was undertaken, encompassing a randomly selected sample of 30 people aged between 18 and 35 years. Out of the participants, a total of 26 individuals reported experiencing challenges in the process of decision-making. The results of the study indicated that participants tended to make prompt decisions when confronted with uncomplicated scenarios. Nevertheless, the decision-making process proved challenging when faced with intricate situations that necessitated the assessment of various interconnected aspects. Certain individuals have a preference for employing paper-based modalities in order to record diverse concerns, hence enabling a systematic approach to evaluating and arranging their cognitive processes. The approach described is in accordance with the fundamental concepts of the Decision-making Software Model currently being developed. It aims to aid users in organizing and condensing their cognitive processes, as well as efficiently assessing and contrasting various elements.

The system offers users a visually coherent structure, streamlined methods for inputting information, dynamic statistical modifications in real-time, and good advice for structuring thoughts. Like conventional methods used in paper-based decision factor analysis, this grid system allows users to systematically list and evaluate the various aspects that impact their decision-making process. In contrast to traditional approaches, this methodology effectively organizes many aspects within the table, hence enabling users to make lateral comparisons more easily.

Furthermore, users have the ability to enhance their evaluation of the elements influencing their selections by selecting them and assigning precise and comparative ratings. The system computes a comprehensive evaluation value by considering the weights and scores assigned to different aspects. This value is then shown in the figure 1, enabling users to easily compare the benefits of alternative solutions.

Distinguishing itself from earlier Decision-making Software, this software model not only provides users with statistical results but also guides them in categorizing and evaluating the fundamental factors influencing decisions. The system engenders a bottom-up understanding of decision-making. Bottom-up theories of comprehension propose that understanding is built from the bottom up by analyzing fundamental factors and understanding higher-level abstractions [12]. It enables users to deconstruct complex situations into assessable constituent factors. In this process, comprehension of these constituent factors is incrementally aggregated, leading to the construction of an overall understanding of the decision. Such models are particularly applicable in complex decision scenarios, simplifying users' analyses of complicated situations through a clear visualized structure.

5.3. Presentation of the Model and Detailed Function Description

The core structure of this model comprises a stack of card-like tables, each representing an option for the current decision. The number of options is customized, and the card-like design is intended to enhance the physical interaction aspect of the interface, allowing users to intuitively grasp the methodology for utilizing this model through interaction with the interface.

The header of the whole table consists of several label-like headers, each representing different categories of factors influencing the decision. Users can adjust the width of each label column by dragging the edges of the labels with their fingers, signifying the weight of that factor in the decision. This natural process simplifies users' work. Double-clicking on any label allows for further editing of the specific content within each factor. For instance, under the "Living Expenses" factor, users can add facts such as "Rent $2000" and "Dining $1000," and proceed to assess and score each fact, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction.

Scores for the same factor within the same option are averaged and reflected in the form of progress bars on each card-like table for vertical comparisons. Additionally, the comprehensive score for each option is calculated based on its scores for each factor and the weights of these factors. These comprehensive scores are then displayed in the header of each card-like table, as shown in figure 1.
