RICE Prioritization
Scoring ideas by reach, impact, confidence, and effort to rank them.
In short
RICE is a prioritization framework that scores each idea on reach, impact, confidence, and effort. Reach, impact, and confidence are multiplied, then divided by effort to produce a single number. The resulting scores let teams compare initiatives on a consistent basis and rank them by expected value per unit of work.
RICE prioritization gives ideas a comparable score using four inputs. Reach estimates how many users an initiative touches, impact rates how much it helps each one, confidence discounts for uncertainty, and effort captures the cost to build.
The formula is reach times impact times confidence, divided by effort. Scores are guides, not verdicts, since the inputs are estimates. Kithspark can feed reach and impact estimates with weighted feedback data, grounding the numbers in real demand.
Example
An idea reaching 500 users with high impact and 80 percent confidence but low effort scores higher than a costly niche tweak.
