Tips for using Ranker
Decide what "better" means before starting: cheaper, more enjoyable or more urgent, for example. Use that same criterion for every matchup. Give similar options distinctive names so you do not confuse them during the comparisons.
Important limitations
The ranking reflects your choices, not an objective measurement of quality. Changing the criterion halfway through can make the final order less useful.
