Rate each screen on four factors
For up to 3 screens, name each one and rate its business importance, user frequency, dev complexity, and validation value from 1-5.

How it works
We calculate a weighted priority score
Importance (30%), frequency (25%), and validation value (25%) push a screen's priority up, while dev complexity (20%) pulls it down — so a valuable, simple screen ranks above an equally valuable but complex one.
Get a build-order ranking
Screens are sorted highest to lowest priority, giving you a clear build order for scoping your MVP's first release.

Frequently asked questions
Does Screen Rank analyze my actual product or designs?
No. Screen Rank computes a weighted priority score entirely from the 1-5 ratings you assign to each screen. It does not analyze real usage data, designs, or code, and does not run a real AI/LLM analysis step — the ranking reflects your own judgment on each factor.
Why does higher complexity lower a screen's priority?
For a first release, a screen that delivers real value but is simple to build often makes more sense to ship first than an equally valuable screen that takes much longer — the weighting favors fast validation over frontloading the hardest work.
Can I rank more than 3 screens?
Run the tool multiple times in batches of 3 and combine the resulting priority scores manually, or focus each run on the screens genuinely competing for the same release slot — ranking too many screens at once usually means the "first release" scope is too broad anyway.
What does "validation value" mean?
How much a screen helps you learn whether your core assumption is right — a screen that reveals whether users complete the key action is high validation value, even if it is not the most visually complex or frequently used screen.
Should I always build screens in the exact ranked order?
Use the ranking as a strong default, but adjust for dependencies — if a lower-ranked screen is a required step before a higher-ranked one can function (e.g. login before dashboard), build the dependency first regardless of its individual score.
How We Compare

Trello and Linear are where the actual build backlog and sprints get managed once priorities are set. Screen Rank runs earlier — a quick weighted calculation to decide which screens matter most for a first release, before those screens become cards or issues in a tool like either of those.
