Feature factories run on fake conviction, not bad processes
Feature factories don't happen because teams lack discipline — they happen because teams lack ground truth. Your RICE scores are fine. The problem is you're scoring made-up numbers based on scattered feedback, selective memory, and manufactured conviction.
Your PM tool is solving the wrong problem
Jira and Linear help you build faster. Productboard helps you organize requests. But none of them help with the actual hard part: figuring out what's worth building in the first place.
Your prioritization framework is fine. Your inputs are garbage.
RICE, ICE, Value/Effort—every prioritization framework fails the same way. Not because the math is wrong, but because you're scoring guesses instead of evidence. When your research is scattered across seventeen tools, even the best framework just gives you confident-sounding fiction.

The evidence-based approach to feature prioritization
Gut-feel prioritization ships the wrong features. Learn how to map customer evidence to themes, assess impact, and present data-driven recommendations to stakeholders.
