quadrant

Two criteria become two axes, and the crossing cuts the plane into four kinds. Items get placed rather than scored, which is cheaper and less precise. The value is the naming: once you can say a thing is high on one axis and low on the other, you have a category rather than a hunch, and the empty quadrants ask their own question.

Example

Best when two criteria clearly dominate and you want kinds of item rather than a ranking.
