How it works
We calculate value per dollar
Customer value is divided by cost, then adjusted down for higher risk and up or down for MVP necessity.
Get a priority verdict
The final score classifies the feature as high, medium, or low priority relative to its cost.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from RICE scoring?
RICE combines reach, impact, confidence, and effort without a real dollar cost. This tool anchors directly to an estimated dollar cost and adjusts for delivery risk and MVP-launch necessity specifically.
Why does higher risk lower the score?
A feature with high delivery uncertainty is more likely to run over budget or timeline than estimated, so its effective value-per-dollar is discounted to reflect that risk.
Why does MVP necessity change the score instead of just gating it?
A feature required for launch deserves priority even at a moderate value-per-dollar ratio, while a clearly post-launch feature needs a stronger ratio to justify pulling it forward.
