About RICE Scoring

RICE Scoring prioritises initiatives using a formula: (Reach × Impact × Confidence) ÷ Effort, producing a comparable score that removes gut-feel from prioritisation debates.

•Reach: how many users are affected per period?
•Impact: how much does this move the needle per user (0.25–3)?
•Confidence: how certain are you of your estimates (20%–100%)?
•Effort: total person-months across all roles
