When I have used this technique, I kept the weights confidential until I had collected the data from teams about their rating of each criteria on the strategies.

Then, I created two conversations. One was about our confidence on those estimated ratings together, and the second was the proposed weights and whose they were, which I revealed after so we could add up what the model provided and have a much faster discussion about whether it yielded what we ought to do.

Nobody wants to be subject to process, but almost everyone wants to appeal to it to get their way, so I wouldn't use this tool to make decisions themselves, but instead to make higher quality ones on teams faster.
