We created criteria to rank the similar solutions based on the most important parts of creating a successful product. For example, the first criterion that we had was temperature control, which we thought was one of the most essential pieces for the product to be efficient. We gave each solution its own rating based on the criteria that we used. We used a percentage-based system to allow the information to be easier to understand for outside parties, so the higher the percentage, the better the product is.
