Rigorous way to compare designs that support the same project

When having 4 different designs that can be delivered for a project and there is a strong difference of opinions on which design is preferred taking into account functional/non-functional requirements/effort etc is there some standard template/framework that can be used rigorously for comparison of the approaches?
