These slides make the case that when everything is a priority, nothing is – and that the RICE scoring model exists to fix exactly that. It helps teams decide which bets are worth taking by turning assumptions into visible, structured reasoning before anything gets built.

Each slide builds toward one key insight: the output of the RICE model isn't truth, it's transparency – everyone sees the plan, everyone understands the trade-offs, and that's how teams earn genuine buy-in even when they disagree on the score.
