Review the feedback received during the poster session. Organize the information and prepare graphic representations (tables, graphs, and/or charts) of the data.
Create another decision matrix to compare the three remaining design concepts. Be sure to revise the specifications, as appropriate, to better compare the more detailed concepts and address issues that have arisen during the selection process.

As a team select the best solution concept from the three remaining concepts or optimize one of the designs based on the results of the decision matrix assessment.
We are going to optimize the Ionic and HEPA filters by combining them in an integrated holding system.
CONCLUSION
Will using a decision matrix tool always result in selecting a product that is successful? Why or why not?
No, the decision matrix can only help in determining the product that will be most likely to succeed but doesn’t guarantee success.
Which two design specifications will impact your team’s design solution the most? Why?
The Vaccum and the Ionic-HEPA filter feel the most impactful due to them directly addressing the problem were trying to solve.
Explain how designing a solution is an iterative process.
In order to fix flaws and improve on our design, it will require iterations of such solutions in order to reach the most optimal form of our solution to our problem.
In addition to selecting a single product concept to pursue, how else could you use a decision matrix in the design process?
You can use it to get inspiration for a combined or optimized idea or determine what you have to improve on the most that failed.
