Score business impact
Features should be tied to a business outcome. A feature that helps activation or retention is different from a feature that only sounds impressive.
- Activation impact.
- Revenue impact.
- Retention impact.
Score evidence quality

- Paying customer request.
- Repeated sales objection.
- Observed product friction.
Score effort and reversibility
Small reversible changes should beat huge bets unless the evidence is strong. Keep product momentum while learning.
