SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Product teams often prioritize ideas on gut feel, leading to biased or inconsistent decisions. This Skill turns qualitative risk assessments into comparable ICE scores so solutions can be ranked on evidence rather than opinion. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-Backed ICE Scoring: Derives Impact, Confidence, and Ease scores directly from a Four Risks assessment (value, usability, feasibility, viability) for each solution leaf in an Opportunity Solution Tree. - Riskiest Assumption Identification: Extracts the highest-risk assumptions from top-ranked solutions so teams know what to test first. - Bias and Noise Checks: Applies structured reviews for availability bias, hyperbolic discounting, and scoring noise (Kahneman's noise audit) before acting on rankings. - Use Case: After mapping solutions on an OST, run this Skill to score each leaf, rank them by ICE, and produce a table showing which assumptions need validation next. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to score the solution leaves in your opportunity solution tree with ICE and rank them by evidence-backed confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions about ice

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize product ideas with ICE scoring?▼

Score each solution on Impact, Confidence, and Ease from 1-10, then multiply them to get the ICE score and rank solutions. This Skill derives each dimension from a Four Risks assessment so scores trace back to evidence rather than gut feel.

What is the difference between ICE and RICE prioritization?▼

ICE multiplies Impact, Confidence, and Ease, while RICE adds Reach and divides by Effort. This Skill uses the ICE variant created by Sean Ellis, with a confidence layer based on Itamar Gilad's evidence-grading Confidence Meter.

Can I use ICE scoring without a Four Risks assessment?▼

No. This Skill requires each solution leaf to have value, usability, feasibility, and viability risks assessed first, with separate evidence per dimension. Scoring without risk evaluation violates the core rule of the workflow.

What counts as high confidence in ICE scoring?▼

A Confidence score of 7 or higher requires test-validated evidence such as user tests, prototypes, or data. Analogy, desk research, or assumptions cap confidence in the 1-6 range.

Why do ICE scores vary between scoring sessions?▼

Score divergence is noise, unwanted variability in judgment. Re-score the same evidence independently or after a 24-hour break; if any dimension diverges by more than 1 point, revisit the scoring criteria before proceeding.
