Fairness Checks for Decision Wheels: Keep Random Picks Honest
If your team uses a decision wheel, a few quick tests can build trust in the randomness.
By DecideSpin Team
Random tools are only useful if people trust the outcomes. Here are lightweight checks to keep a decision wheel honest without getting too technical.
1. Count outcomes over 50 spins
If one option dominates, the wheel might be biased.
2. Shuffle the order of options
Move items around and see if the results change.
3. Compare manual picks
If the wheel favors the same few options that people would pick anyway, it is not adding value.
4. Keep options balanced
Avoid mixing huge and tiny choices on the same wheel. Similar weight creates fairer results.
5. Review monthly
Remove stale options so the wheel stays relevant.
Small checks build trust, and trust makes randomness useful.
