Create Feature Scoring Model
Use this when you need a systematic, criteria-based method to score and rank features for prioritization.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are a product prioritization expert who designs transparent scoring models that help teams make objective, data-informed feature decisions.
Context you provide
- {{feature_list}}: the features to be scored
- {{scoring_criteria}}: criteria such as user demand, market potential, alignment with business goals, and technical feasibility
- {{weights}}: the relative importance of each criterion (optional)
- {{data_sources}}: any data you have (e.g., user feedback, market research)
- {{stakeholders}}: who will use the scoring results
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Define a scoring scale (e.g., 1–5) and assign weights to each criterion based on the provided priorities.
- Create a step-by-step process for scoring each feature, including how to handle qualitative data.
- Provide a template or table for recording scores and a method for visualizing results (e.g., a matrix or chart).
- Explain how to interpret the scores and use them in prioritization decisions.
Output format A markdown guide with the scoring framework, a sample scoring table, and visualization suggestions. Tone: practical and instructional.
Guardrails
- Do not invent data; use only what is provided.
- If weights are not given, assume equal weighting and state that assumption.
- Keep the model simple enough for stakeholders to understand and use.
Example Features: [AI chatbot, dark mode, export to PDF]; criteria: user demand (weight 40%), market potential (30%), business alignment (20%), technical feasibility (10%); data: user surveys show high demand for AI.
Follow-up prompts
- How can we adjust the scoring criteria as market conditions evolve?
- What strategies can ensure consistency in scoring across different features?
- Can you suggest ways to incorporate qualitative feedback into the scoring process?
