ICE Score
Score an idea on Impact, Confidence, and Ease to propose execution priority.
When to use
- To quickly order an idea backlog and select items for exploration
- When you have at least some explicit evidence and a rough effort estimate
- Before drafting experiment plans for a leaf opportunity
Input
- Idea title and description: goal, target metric, scope, and working hypothesis
- Idea analysis and current state: data/user/market/test evidence, risks, and effort estimate
- Optional: target metric change (%), estimated effort (person-weeks)
Output
- Format: Markdown (
.md)
- Location:
initiatives/[initiative]/solutions/
- Filename:
ice-[YYYY-MM-DD]-[slugified-idea-title].md
Scoring quick reference
- Impact: Map expected metric change (%) to 0-10 scale
- Ease: Map estimated effort (person-weeks) to 10-1 scale
- Confidence: Sum weighted evidence contributions with group caps
- ICE Score = Impact x Confidence x Ease
Priority buckets
| Score | Guidance |
|---|
| >= 250 | Consider immediate execution (high expected ROI) |
| 150-249 | Promising; recommend additional precision testing |
| 100-149 | Proceed with mitigations or phase-two testing |
| < 100 | On hold or needs strengthening |
Guardrails
- Do not invent or infer evidence
- Exclude evidence not directly tied to Impact from Confidence
- When uncertain, apply conservative caps
- Prevent duplicate counting of the same source
