- List tasks with impact and urgency from 0 to 10.
- Add confidence from 0 to 100 and positive effort in hours.
- Calculate and inspect tasks from highest score downward.
Reading your result
Higher impact, urgency or confidence raises the score; more effort lowers it. Zero confidence gives a zero score. Use the ranking as a discussion aid.
How this works
Score = impact × urgency × confidence/100 ÷ effort. Impact and urgency: 0–10; effort: positive hours.
Use the units shown beside each field. For monetary amounts, use one currency throughout; calculations do not convert currencies. Results normally display up to two decimal places. Nonzero values below 0.01 use up to six significant digits; values below 0.000001 use scientific notation (for example, 1E-7 means 0.0000001). Rankings use unrounded values, so displayed scores can look equal without being tied. CSV downloads retain numeric precision. Monetary rounding uses half-away-from-zero. Inputs or results beyond supported precision are rejected.
Assumptions & limits
A transparent local heuristic, not a universal standard. Scores do not account for dependencies or ethical priorities.
CSV inputs support quoted commas, doubled quotation marks and quoted line breaks. Headers are case-sensitive; a maximum of 500 data rows and 200,000 characters applies per table.
Results are planning aids based on the values you enter. Check important decisions and documents before using or sharing them.
