Companies trying to build new solutions using blockchain are confronted with a plethora of available concurrent technologies that have many control knobs which require fine-tuning by experts. Exiting studies that build decision models for blockchain adoption or selection lack an automated way to use non-functional requirements to provide recommendations. In this paper, we build a knowledge base for blockchain solutions by analyzing whitepapers and studies, but also our benchmark results performed in a controlled environment. Then, we implement a Multi-Criterion Decision Analysis method to determine the most suitable blockchain solution from companies provided requirements and preferences. Finally, we illustrate our approach by running the decision process on a realistic supply-chain use case. This paper provides a rationale for blockchain deployment choices. While still limited in scope, we plan to include more blockchain alternative and more flexible requirements inputs in future work.
