What it shows

  • Confidence scoring penalizes pure speculation before code is written.
  • Effort divides gross value so engineering cost is factored in directly.
  • Produces a defensible mathematical baseline for backlog discussions.

The takeaway

RICE strips ego from roadmap decisions by dividing reach, impact, and confidence by engineering effort.
