# Prioritization: [quarter / backlog]

> Scored backlog – the framework makes trade-offs explicit and
> debatable instead of loudest-voice wins.

## RICE scoring

$RICE = \frac{Reach \times Impact \times Confidence}{Effort}$

- **Reach**: users affected per period
- **Impact**: 3 massive / 2 high / 1 medium / 0.5 low / 0.25 minimal
- **Confidence**: 100% / 80% / 50%
- **Effort**: person-weeks

| Initiative | Reach | Impact | Confidence | Effort | Score |
|------------|-------|--------|------------|--------|-------|
| [name] | N | N | N% | N wks | N |
| [name] | | | | | |

Saying no in writing is the whole point – revisit conditions keep the
"no" honest instead of permanent.
