impediment-prioritisation

name	impediment-prioritisation
description	Ranks any list of impediments and their countermeasures using a value-stream scoring model (ROI, Cost to Implement, Ease of Deployment, Risk Factor) and a fixed prioritisation formula. Use when someone asks to prioritise, rank, sequence, or triage impediments, countermeasures, remediation items, risks, findings, gaps, action items, or backlog entries; or mentions value-stream prioritisation, A3 / lean countermeasure ranking, ROI vs. effort scoring, or building a remediation / improvement backlog. Works with GHQR findings, audit results, retrospective action items, risk registers, architecture review gaps, or any free-form `{impediment, countermeasure}` list.

Impediment Prioritisation Skill

A domain-agnostic skill for ranking impediments and their countermeasures. Works with any {impediment, countermeasure} list — GHQR findings, audit results, retro action items, risk registers, architecture review gaps, etc.

When to Activate

Activate when the user:

• Asks to prioritise, rank, sequence, or triage impediments, gaps, risks, findings, or remediation items
• Provides a list of impediments with proposed countermeasures (or asks you to propose countermeasures for a list of problems)
• Asks "what should we fix first" on any improvement / remediation backlog
• Mentions value-stream prioritisation, A3 countermeasures, ROI-vs-effort, or lean impediment ranking
