How much the feature or idea could positively affect key metrics or user outcomes.

The ICE framework scores features based on Impact, Confidence, and Ease. It’s a simpler alternative to RICE, designed for quick and intuitive prioritization β€” especially for startups and lean teams.

Each factor is scored from 1 to 10, and the ICE score is the average. A higher score suggests the idea is worth pursuing. ICE is fast and flexible, often used for experimentation or growth hacking tasks.
