Not sure what you mean. Weighing factors leads to a decision... the factors compare to each other, not to the decision.

Like, say I decide to skip a meal: multiple factors might be at play i.e. feeling nauseous, not being hungry, not having time, etc. Some of those factors will be weighted more heavily than others, like if I'm feeling nauseous then all the other ones are moot: I'm not gonna eat. Saying that feeling nauseous is a blip compared to deciding not to eat doesn't make sense.
