ICE Scoring
A quick ranking method using impact, confidence, and ease.
In short
ICE scoring ranks ideas using three factors: impact, confidence, and ease. Each factor is rated on a simple scale and the ratings are combined into one score. ICE is faster and lighter than more detailed frameworks, which makes it useful for quick rounds of prioritization when precision matters less than speed.
ICE scoring is a lightweight way to rank ideas. Each idea gets a rating for impact, for confidence in that impact, and for ease of doing the work, usually on a one-to-ten scale.
The three ratings combine into a single score that lets a team sort a long list quickly. Because the inputs are rough, ICE suits early sorting better than final commitments. Teams using Kithspark often seed the impact rating from weighted feedback to keep it grounded.
Example
A growth team scores ten experiment ideas in fifteen minutes and picks the three with the highest combined ratings.
