Build vs. Buy
Decision Matrix
A weighted scoring tool for evaluating whether to develop a custom design system or adopt a starter/commercial one. Adjust weights and scores to reflect your team’s context.
How to use: Drag the sliders to adjust how much each factor matters to your team (weights must total 100%). Use the +/− buttons to score each option 1–5 per criterion. Weighted scores calculate automatically.
