pdl-score

To re-score an ICE rating, provide the IDEA-NNN identifier. The system reads your backlog, recomputes the Impact, Confidence, and Effort scores, updates the ICE total, adjusts the status per governance rules, and writes the current date.

Updating ICE scores across a backlog involves reading the 01_IDEAS.md file, validating the IDEA-NNN format, computing new ICE totals for each item, and updating the corresponding rows in place while preserving existing fields and adjusting statuses.

ICE score updates re-evaluate priorities for deferred ideas by recomputing their Impact, Confidence, and Effort ratings. When circumstances change, this process adjusts their status per governance rules and updates the backlog to reflect current feasibility and value.

You need an ideas backlog in the 01_IDEAS.md format containing valid IDEA-NNN identifiers, alongside a 02_USER_STORIES.md file. The system validates this structure before computing new ICE totals and updating the corresponding rows in place.

Re-score ICE ratings when circumstances change or priorities shift for existing backlog items, rather than creating new ideas. This ensures the backlog reflects up-to-date value and feasibility by adjusting status per governance rules and writing the current date.

ICE re-scoring fails if the target idea lacks a valid IDEA-NNN identifier in the 01_IDEAS.md file. The system validates this format before computing the new ICE total, updating the corresponding row, adjusting status, and writing the current date.
