FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize early-stage concepts by impact and effort?▼

Prioritize concepts by scoring each on impact (1–5), delight (1–5), and effort (S/M/L), then rank by your chosen axis with lowest effort as a tie-breaker. This structured scoring automates selection of the strongest concept for testing.

What should I include when submitting concepts for scoring?▼

Provide a problem statement, success signals defining what success looks like, and constraints limiting the solution space. These structured inputs ensure the Skill generates accurate, contextual concept cards and risk assessments.

Can I use concept scoring to plan a one-day spike or experiment?▼

Yes. The Skill recommends a top concept and outputs a verification checklist to guide a one-day spike, making it ideal for rapid ideation validation before committing to full development.

How many concepts should I evaluate at once?▼

The Skill generates and ranks 4–6 concept cards per submission, the optimal range for early-stage ideation. This size balances breadth of exploration with manageable decision-making.

Does concept scoring work with planning workflows?▼

Yes. The Skill integrates with /ctx:plan and /ctx:execute-plan, allowing you to embed concept evaluation directly into your planning and execution pipelines.

What happens when concepts tie on my chosen scoring axis?▼
