# Prioritization Stage — Elaboration

## Criteria Guidance

### Good criteria — concrete and verifiable

- "Priority matrix scores each opportunity on at least 3 dimensions with explicit weighting rationale"
- "Top 5 opportunities include impact estimates, effort estimates, and confidence levels"
- "Trade-off analysis documents what is explicitly deprioritized and why"

### Bad criteria — vague (no clear check)

- "Priorities are set"
- "Opportunities are ranked"
- "Framework is applied"
