How it works

1

Enter what you actually know

Customer requests, behavioral evidence, expected revenue impact, strategic fit, and your effort estimate.

2

We calculate an evidence score

Requests, behavioral signal, revenue, and strategic fit build the score up; a rising effort estimate pulls it back down using a diminishing-penalty curve.

3

Get a build-or-wait verdict

The result tells you whether the evidence justifies building now, needs more validation, or isn't there yet.

Frequently asked questions

Why does effort use a diminishing penalty instead of a flat one?

The difference between a 1-week and a 4-week feature matters a lot; the difference between a 40-week and a 60-week feature matters less in relative terms. A logarithmic penalty reflects that.

What if I only have customer requests and nothing else?

Requests alone can still produce a moderate score, but the tool is designed to flag that behavioral and revenue evidence are missing — a vocal minority isn't the same as broad need.

Is this a replacement for a full prioritization framework like RICE?

No — it's a narrower evidence check specifically for validating whether a feature idea has real backing before it enters a broader framework like RICE or MoSCoW.

Can I use this for bug fixes or technical debt too?

It's built for customer-facing feature ideas. For technical work, a framework weighing risk and stability is usually a better fit.
